    If they had more content on offer than the big legal streaming services combined, should that not tell us something about the quality of legal offers?

      What’s there to learn that isn’t already widely known? Existing (copyright) laws are asinine and all corporations eventually become consumed by greed. That’s America in a nutshell.

        It’s not even copyright laws, it’s everyone insisting on exclusive contracts. There’s no reason a piece of content couldn’t be on Netflix and Disney+ at the same time. It would be a lot better for consumers if streamers could compete on price and service instead of which content they managed to create/licence.

          Music streaming has proven this for years now, all the major brands have massive collections that make its super easy to pay and listen to just about anything.

          Early Netflix proved this when everything was readily available for an affordable pricre.

          Exactly. I like Netflix’s service, but Disney’s content. Why can’t I just pay for a Disney bundle on Netflix? Likewise with Max, Peacock, etc.

          Lawyers are why we can’t have nice things.
