    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.

        Yep, you choose between Spotify, Tidal, etc based on price and how well the app works, not because one service has the band you like while the other one doesn’t (not that music streaming isn’t its own shitshow for other reasons, of course).

        The situation is a lot better with music, but it’s not perfect. There’s still issues with region locking content, and content only existing on one service and not another.

      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.
