    Have I “earned” 10.1tb of the Disney+ content that’s currently populating my hard drive?

      How would one theoretically go about helping Disney create multiple dislocated backups of their best movies and tv shows in case their server breaks and we lose Pocahontas 2 forever?

          I’ve been grabbing thrift store dvds and ripping them for the past few months. Cancelled Netflix recently and I don’t miss it. I can’t believe some of the things I’ve found, too. I live in a small town and I found the entire 90s Sailor Moon English dub on dvd at my local thrift store.

      Considering that Disney was the main lobbyist in the US Congress for increasing Copyright period length (and hence severelly and one-sidedly cut the quid pro quo of Copyright legislation which is that Society gets those works as Public Domain after for some years enforcing the limitation on the copy of those copyrighted works) from it’s original 20 years to Death Of Author + 70 years (which in general adds up to around 150 years and means nobody will ever see the works that were popular in their youth become part of the Public Domain), people have not just earned the right of getting copies of Disney’s works without paying for them, they even have the moral high ground when they do so - you’re really just taking backs the proceeding of Crime, though as Disney bough the Law, this is one of those situations were the Crime is De Facto but not De Jure.

      Did you put in marginal effort and count on past successes to continue to pay off with this 10 TB, cuz if so, you and Disney’s CFO seem to have matching definitions of “earned”.
