Disney says it will crack down on password sharing, following Netflix’s lead - eviltoast

The company will roll out tactics to mitigate password sharing in 2024. While Iger said Disney should see some effects from the rollout in 2024, the initiatives to prevent password sharing won’t be completed next year.

      I pay for everything but movies and TV shows. Last time I bought TV shows, the service went under and I lost it all. Seasons and seasons and seasons gone. It’s not 1982, I shouldn’t have to deal with freaking discs.

      So the only reliable thing is my Emby server. One tap from playing it on any device in the house.

      And I don’t have a blu ray drive in my PC, my case doesn’t even support one (again, is it 1982???) so buying and ripping my own discs is out of the picture.

      Buying movies and TV shows gives you the worst experience and punishes you. Not to mention almost every damn show these days are cancelled, and I don’t think I’ve seen a movie with a satisfactory ending in like a decade.

        I haven’t pirated a game in over a decade. I have Netflix and Prime subscriptions… I have 4tb of shows and movies on my NAS because fuck subscribing to every damn streaming service.

          4tb was my first big milestone.

          Currently at 68ish out of 78tb and there’s another 16tb drive waiting to get hooked up once I’m getting full.

          It got ridiculous pretty quickly but I don’t know if I’ll ever go back.

        I mean what’s wrong with having drives still attached? I feel personally attacked cause I have a blu ray AND multiple dvd drives for retro games on disks. Yeah I could ISO them but meh.
