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.
Is there someone who understands / can explain the tax principles behind the removal? I see the term impairment charge mentioned in the article. Best I can tell, the company is saying their book value is higher than the actual value of the item, so they can take the loss and write it off. But why does that necessitate removing it?
Is this also the reason that Disney used to put stuff into “the vault” back in the day?
I’m all on board with piracy-first (I don’t even bother to figure out how to pay for movies/TV anymore because piracy is so much more convenient), but I want to be able to explain to a layman why things are getting worse.
I hear these are all being hosted on jellyfin instead.
That is nothing new they always did this with cinemas and DVD/Blu rays too. You wanted to do a screening of the jungle book? You can’t. You want to buy a box of your favorite movies, out of stock to create an artificial scarcity and demand for the Christmas season.
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.
Fuck sites that have a multiple page cookie policy page and no reject all button.
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.
Or just use Firefox with enhanced protection turned on. Websites become pretty containerized. Incognito mode just becomes a “don’t save this in my history” thing.
No… Containers are just sandboxed normal browsing sessions.
The cookies and other site data they gather, will remain and able to track your browsing habits within that container, until you clear it. But it can be sustained between browsing sessions, for months or years at a time.
They’re very useful, and I highly recommend using them, but they’re nowhere near as convenient as opening up a single incognito tab to read a shitty article on a shitty website. Once I’m done reading it, all I have to do is close that incognito session, return to Lemmy, rinse and repeat.
Do whatever works best for you, but just be aware that you seem to be under some important misconceptions about what data is saved between different types of browsing sessions, or how certain privacy features work.
I wasn’t talking about Containers though. I was under the impression that Enhanced Tracking Protection severely hampers cross-domain tracking.
Let me rephrase that: I am talking about containers, but more specifically about the fact that Firefox now sandboxes every domain within it’s own little container, if you enable the proper options. Yes, your behavior on said site will persist until you clear your session data, but it will not follow you to other websites.
Disney put their content back into the vault?
90s kid shocked pikachu face
Man these kids now days don’t understand the pain of the vaulting …
I mean, the vaulting was significantly less painful than this.
Many of these movies and shows were released as Disney plus exclusives in the last 4 years.
Meaning, there are no physical copies anywhere, and there is nowhere but the high seas to find this content now.
As a kid, I never gave a shit about the vault, because it’s not like they came to your house and took the VHS away.
Yeah the Disney vault didn’t really work back when you could go to the library (or back in those days blockbuster or family video) and rent the VHS or DVD after Disney stopped selling them
If they watched the Olympics they may.
Pfft that guy is still accessing his content ~nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more 😉~
Flora & Ulysses? Awe that was such a cute film. Also really liked Rosaline. Can’t say any other films on this list jump out to me though.
Popover to accept cookies, if you go to manage preferences there is no option to save your preferences.
The Princess was really entertaining. Like “The Raid” by literally Disney.
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

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
fuck these guys
amen
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
Not for Disney channel branded stuff. They keep that shit on lockdown.
You are full of shit
Fact check yourself and begone. It’s even easier than responding to me
These are not disney+ branded
Disney is deleting their own original content so they don’t have to pay residuals to the actors and crew who worked on them.
We’re talking about that, not whatever ‘Disney+’ branded is, and Disney kicks the rights to duds to other services as I’ve thoroughly explained and pointed out, so please, go back to reddit with your downvoting of factual stuff
tl;dr: dude said Disney deletes their own content in order to not pay residuals, I point out that Disney is bundling that stuff and trading it off. End of discussion. The topic has run its course
LoL
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
I skimmed through this and there’s not a single thing here I care about.
The list is way smaller than I expected.
That’s what she said!
Your body count?
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)?
