You don't even have to worry about Piracy, all these shorts will start entering the public domain in our lifetime.

kriswolfhe.art•79 days ago

yeah until the current republican admin extends copyright out another 100 years

ethhestu.bsky.social•79 days ago

They might not do it because the right hates the entertainment industry.

Side note, this is especially evil after it just got brought to light that a lot of Warner DVDs from the late 2000s, including the latter Looney Tunes Golden Collections, got hit with a manufacturing defect causing early disc rot

kriswolfhe.art•79 days ago

honestly considering how success no longer guarantees that someone keeps their job it's hard to argue that you shouldn't just pirate whatever the fuck you want, but you definitely shouldn't care about pirating shit these jagoff companies don't want to give you

I've been looking forward to how THE bay works

But- but- they probably still have it in a vault somewhere! It still technically exists! You're just entitled! Entitlement!!1!

tfw CBS has all the film stock for Deep Space 9 to remaster it like they did TNG but it would be too expensive

There's even a documentary with some shots in HD and Quark has never looked so greasy

Companies: You don't need to pirate media now that streaming is a thing.

Also companies: We're removing this particular show/movie for tax reasons and we're still going to crack down on piracy even though that's become the only way to watch said show/movie that we just nuked from existence.

Unfortunately, I could probably find brain damaged individuals who would still go "um ackshually" to this shit on twitter

arcticcirclesystem.bsky.social•78 days ago

Usually they take the "um ackshually the corpos probably still have it in a vault somewhere so it's preserved and access doesn't matter, you're just an entitled poor"

Moralising about piracy when, like, only 30% of pre-1930 films exist, and literally all of those surviving films exist because of bootleggers is pathetic. Like, sure, I guess, the median Plex Server isn't gonna be a vital historic archive, but neither are the companies making this stuff.

peyote.bsky.social•79 days ago

right??
Like, it's not even a NEW thing. How many old TV series episodes no longer exist because the companies that held the singular copy overwrote them because "eh, I don't want to spend 25 cents on a new VHS tape."

flameydergon.bsky.social•78 days ago

Dr Who wouldn't have recovered ANYTHING of the old old episodes if it weren't for piracy, and even then many of them only exist in Audio form

WB just released a new Looney Tunes movie to theaters this past Friday so what the fuck was the point of this? I was literally just in the mood to watch some classic shorts. God I hate these people.

neoarkadia.ygorganization.com•79 days ago

The current bosses want tax write offs and make WB appealing for liquidation or a merger.

Gold Parachute Speedrun, Liquid%

ghoulsblues.bsky.social•78 days ago

Funny thing is, WB didn't even distribute the movie in America.
It was a smaller company, Ketchup Entertainment, that bought the rights. Hence the much smaller release window of a week in theaters (near me) & nonexistent marketing

peyote.bsky.social•79 days ago

the fact that people STILL moralize is ridiculous
