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.

I would love for there to be a consumer protection law, whenever a price changes for recurring service, the customer must affirmatively and proactively agree to the new price otherwise the service ends.

No surprising people with price increases,

These streaming companies are dreaming. I hope people will just stop streaming. There will be massive street markets for hard drives and thumb drives loaded with pirated content.

I had no idea they charged 80/mo....now upping that??? looooool. I always thought the new subscription services were between 10 & 15....we've been on the high seas for a long time I guess.
