Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I'm off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here's the proof.

    Considering they’re the one who pushed for decades to extend the Copyright period from the original 20 years to “Death of Author + 75 years” (so, around 125+ years), making the entering in our lifetime into the Public Domain of any of the cultural elements we grew up in pretty much de facto impossible, thus breaking the quid-pro-quo of Copyright Legislation, I’m surprised that anybody here sees the Disney Corporation as anything but Evil.

    These people did more damage to freedom in modern society (as Copyright also affects things like Software) than anybody else.
