TBH, I can see this happening as a general trend. There's a limit to how many streaming services people are willing to pay for and I read an article that suggesting torrenting is back on the rise simply because there were already too many. Disney's got some major clout and back catalog material, though... I guess it depends on how many people love their stuff enough to subscribe on top of whatever else they're already subscribed to.

This is basically what I came to comment. I can already only afford one streaming service. No way will I be able to keep up as each company makes their own.

It's so obvious that - once the technical side of streaming is solved - all of the value is in your back catalog. And once you get to that point, the actual entertainment conglomerates are the ones that have all the leverage and are going to extract all the value. And, obviously, that's going to suck for consumers, and we're not going to do anything about it, because that's what we've made the decision to do as a society. We give them all the money and power.

We are going to do something about it, though - we're going to steal their shit via torrenting.

Agreed. They've seen how successful Netflix is and want to hop on the money train, but they're really shooting themselves in the foot, because the more streaming services there are, the more ppl will go back to torrenting as they just won't be able to afford monthly fees for them all.

The sensible way to go would be to charge Netflix a licensing fee or something, that way both companies will get their money, and everything is in one place for the consumers.

They realize this but they think that this will force Netflix out of business before it forces them out of business.
