This was the argument back in the days when movies wouldn’t be released in many countries as the market is too small.
What do you expect potential customers to do? Should they buy new computers? Not watch Disney stuff?
I think I would expect the latter, but if they aren’t Disney’s customer then them pirating isn’t losing Disney any business.
I feel that is such an entitled attitude. Watching Disney+ is hardly some inalienable human right nor essential for survival. Why would anyone think their right to use a service, and cosume content, overrides Disneys well-established ownership?
If Disney won't sell them the stuff they shouldn't be surprised they'll resort to other means to acquire the content.
I feel like “entitled” is some sort of jerk buzzword. Entitled is a wonderful thing. I think it’s good to be entitled to not being exploited by billion dollar companies making decisions that make like worse for people. Even if it’s just a little worse like not being able to watch a movie with your kids. Sadly, we’re not entitled to such a thing.
Why is Disney entitled to oppressive “well-established ownership?” I’m not sure how one is more entitled than retaining copyright for 70 years after the artists who create something die.
If "piracy" could straight up kill Disney, copyright infringement would be a moral imperative. We don't even have that power.
Neither are never-expiring copyright laws, and there's no reason someone in a country that doesn't abide by them should have to honor them.
