Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I'm off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here's the proof.

That's the power of usenet. My downloads are limited by disk speed, not my connection. Didn't believe it myself until I had it running. I used to use torrents which were slow af.

That's because you don't know where to look.

Exactly the damn problem; you have to look for, depend on, and trust some other service to have it available to stream when you want to stream it.

I just throw names at my server whenever I happen to hear of something interesting to watch (often while I am at work) and it finds it for me. I can then watch and share it with as many people as I like without involving anyone or anything else whenever I want to.

/edit: for the record, I'm not the one downvoting you.
