      Narco Wars is available on ABC or whatnot. All the services are basically treating licenses like trading cards

      disney fucking OWNS ABC. there’s no fucking excuse for this, it’s not like netflix having to let go of certain things when the shitty licencing agreement ends.

      source : worked on streaming video site, our services were worse than porn sites because of the shitty licencing deals

      It’s not licensed material. Disney is deleting their own original content so they don’t have to pay residuals to the actors and crew who worked on them.

      The article specifically states that there’s nowhere you can (legally) watch much of this. It’s so much worse than just trading licenses.
