The Disney owns Fox thread

Not an advocate of it, but I'm sure pirating Disney content will be at an all time high.

You know what I'm wondering...how many people know how to pirate well nowadays.
I know a few people with hacked Fire Sticks. But most of those TV/movies streaming sites have shut down or are crappy. And I don't think most people know about torrents like that. I wonder if the masses, using that loosely, know where to get their pirate on.
 
Plus people who do pirate, weren’t going to pay anyway

Not necessarily. I know a few people who would have bought a Mandalorian Bluray or DVD but have no interest to sign up for Disney+ because they want the one show. So, they go other ways about it.

So they’re willing to pay $25-30 for blu ray but won’t spend $7, watch the show and the cancel the subscription?
 
The ****ing Disney vault just got bigger.

To actually own it over subscribing to something? Sure. They want to watch it whenever they feel like it.

Yup, and they can even rip individual episodes and make digital copies to watch on their phone/tablet (that's what I do with my Blu-ray movies).
 
One of the reasons I wasn't too happy with this merger was I felt Disney would have no idea what to do with the 20th century back catalogue. Seems I was right.
 
Why not just move the R-rated movies on Hulu? Open a Fox Classics catalog or something?

EDIT:

With regard to not releasing more of the FOX catalog on physical media, that is unfortunate to people who want the option. There are advantages to owning physical media.

My only criticism about the Fox library going to Disney, is they are splitting it through Hulu and Disney+. You need to search if a certain film is on Disney+ or Hulu. I feel like all Disney's properties should be in 1 streaming site similar to WB's HBO Max (well most of their library as of the moment) and Universal's Peacock.
 
They're weird about certain things they own that aren't more "family friendly". Disney Plus falls under that.
 
Think it's a real **** move not getting any older movies on 4k. I really wanted Tron Legacy and the POTC movies, not to mention lots of the Fox back catalogue.

Have been thinking about cancelling Disney+ as really not impressed so far. This may push me to do it.

The article specifically said physical 4k. It didn't say older movies won't be in 4k digitally.

I know, and I would prefer physical copy's of movies I love rather than digital.

The sales are probably not that good for Disney to release 4k blurays of their older movies and I can't blame them for that. A lot of their older movies (Disney movies), have already been released in Vhs, Dvd, Blu-ray and some like their animated movies have received so many editions over the last two decades. Another repackage imo seems overkill. With streaming taking over, its impossible for them to release every movie in 4k disc.

But at least, new movies might still come out in physical 4k disc.

Well I will always be a physical copy kinda guy/collector. So I don't like the idea of everything going digital at all. Plus it's not like Disney don't have lots of money. With Tron 3 coming out a 4K version of Legacy would make sense. Same when the new Pirates movie comes out, next Die Hard, etc.
