It’s a sad reality that streaming services are deleting original films from platforms - here’s everything that’s disappeared from Disney+

It’s too long to abbreviate here. It’s quite surprising what they’ve deleted.

    The Princess was really entertaining. Like “The Raid” by literally Disney.

    Delisted content should automatically be considered public commons/public domain. Also fuck Disney for bankrolling trade organizations lobbying copyright into the ground with 100+ years bs, there’s no good argument for copyright over 5 years.

      My default browsers, on mobile and desktop, both open incognito/private tabs by default.

      I’ll still click no, or don’t accept, if it pops up, but when a page is shitty like this, I’m not too worried about them collecting data on how I browser this page while reading this one article.

        AFAIK, incognito mode will only protect you from reading multiple articles on their site, no difference for a single one.

          Incognito mode will basically put all the cookies and other site data into a temp directory.

          So, they can track you across that session as long as you keep it open, like if you went from the article to your banking or online shopping websites.

          But, once you close out of that session, that directory should be cleared.

          Just make sure you don’t use incognito or private modes with a bunch of sites, at the same time, that you don’t want to share information between.

    They’re probably on other services now, like Narco Wars is available on ABC or whatnot. All the services are basically treating licenses like trading cards in hopes that they snag more subscriptions that people just forget about and continue to pay, and the best way to do that is continually offload stuff in exchange for other ones

      The article specifically states that there’s nowhere you can (legally) watch much of this. It’s so much worse than just trading licenses.

        My comment you didn’t read specifically states that this same thing happens often. They pull stuff and bundle it up like subprime mortgages and then make a trade and then those shows pop up later on some other platform. Have patience

        edit: here is a list of netflix stuff pulled, in-house productions are now on other services, such as Borgia on Apple. Happens often

      disney fucking OWNS ABC. there’s no fucking excuse for this, it’s not like netflix having to let go of certain things when the shitty licencing agreement ends.

      source : worked on streaming video site, our services were worse than porn sites because of the shitty licencing deals

        I’m not saying there’s an excuse for this, I’m just pointing out that these services are encouraged to do this. You notice a show you like isn’t on Disney+ so you get a subscription to some other service Disney owns in order to watch it, and maybe it dawns on you 18 months later that you never cancelled that other one, and Disney effectively made something like 120 bucks off of one show when the box set probably costs a third of that. And by that time they’d probably have traded the rights to Amazon in exchange for Fallout.

        Buy the box sets or set sail on the high seas, fuck these guys

            For real. If you’re mostly into watching series and stuff I highly recommend box sets and highly recommend thrifting. I usually scout out thrift stores in upper middle class places, check how many fondue fountains are in that thrift store, and if there are a decent amount of fondue fountains I know it probably gets good shit dropped off at the regular as duds from estate sales and I add that to my roaming grounds. The ratio of fondue fountains somehow correlates really really well to the quantity of unopened box sets (also really good art, but that’s a different subject, look behind it and see if it has tags from getting cleaned or reframed, that’s a good painting)

            Edit: my latest great haul was 2 weeks back, 2 marble lamps with original shades for 80 bucks. Retailed 600 bucks new each, trust me on the fondue fountains lol

      It’s not licensed material. Disney is deleting their own original content so they don’t have to pay residuals to the actors and crew who worked on them.

        Disney owns the license to sell or distribute and I’d bet money that 80% of the listed titles of recent culls will be on Netflix or Peacock or Hulu or Apple or Youtube within 2 years. They’ll get some shows in exchange that’ll generate more revenue from new subscriptions than losses from royalties and then they’ll magically pop up somewhere else. It is the norm nowadays

    How much do you suppose the music rights and residuals cost for these properties that Disney already owns? Is it insignificant? Would switching to a streaming model similar to the music industry change things (you only get paid per view)?
