Why do we care about this on a piracy community? I never cared about prices and fees I don't have to pay for anyway! Tough luck for those of you how sub to Disney.
The fact that there are multiple people in this community that have commented that they are cancelling their sub shows the value of sharing this post. Not all pirates are pure plunderers. There's a good amount of us that pay for content that is appropriately valued to them.
I remember a study made by the government of my country, which was about how much people who dowloaded illegally, spent on legal content.
They didn't published it, it wasn't the result they expected, usually, people who dowload illegally, consume a lot of legal content too.
