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.

Why are you posting so much about streaming sites in this thread?

People that feel superior for not paying are so stupid.

Some people actually like the ease of use, user experience and legality of paid streaming services.

People that try and justify piracy because X are also so stupid.

I like piracy because free is nice, but some people think that they are morally in the right, because “companies bad”. I won’t say that piracy is theft but the industry obviously needs people that do the right thing to survive, and making fun of people who do is very counterproductive.

And the quality of (newer) physical media far surpasses the best of free and paid streaming services.

You can get the same quality by downloading though.

Haha, paying for a service isn’t the same as being ripped off.
