Who says Sky won't strike a deal with Disney ? The French Disney + is the same start date as ours isn't it ?

Quote from The Sun:The Pirate Bay's new Netflix rival is called BayStream, and will let unscrupulous users flout copyright laws anywhere in the world.
Web pirates have been accessing bootleg telly on The Pirate Bay since 2003.
But these files were always offered on a download-only basis, requiring special software to obtain the file from other users.
Now BayStream, which is currently in testing, makes it possible to stream a pirated item completely free of charge – like Netflix for crooks.
It's worth noting that BayStream isn't technically illegal itself – but viewing or sharing pirated content through it is illegal.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Netflix has released a breakdown of its subscriber numbers outside of North America. It’s the first time the streamer has made the information available.

Does anyone know when Sky’s deal with Disney expires? If Disney play hardball with Sky regarding movies and the fact Hulu is not yet available, I could see ABC and Fox series disappearing from Sky and moving to Fox as well.

Disney UK & Ireland have "...clarified that the existing DisneyLife service will be "rebranded" as Disney Plus, with users able to transition their subscription to the new service."
This doesn't suggest they will make the service platform exclusive.
https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/di...date-announced
Regarding Sky "...it has a deal in place for a dedicated Sky Disney channel on the firm’s movies platform, and that contract is apparently not due to expire until some point in 2020.

March 31st 2020. That is why the UK has had to wait until then for Disney+.

I meant they could easily strike a deal with Disney to include it's + service for Sky Cinema subscribers and give non subscribers the chance to purchase.

That would make sense on a short-term basis while Disney waited for existing contracts to expire. Disney could even extend existing contracts on condition that from March/April 2020 they would no longer be exclusive on Sky.
However, my gut feeling is that when existing contracts come to an end, everything will go exclusively to Disney+.
I am sure it will be one of those three scenarios.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Disney has already proven it's willing to work with platforms if the terms of the deal are right.
It's a game of numbers for both neither outcome would surprise me.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
If all these producers go their own way with own subscriptions and it all getting more expensive I just go back to buying DVD's for the titles I want when they are on offer at the supermarket.

That might prove an expensive option, but I guess it depends on how many DVDs you would buy.

New releases in the supermarkets are generally the same price as the digital versions bought online.

Yes, but what I meant was that a subscription is cheaper than that if you watch a lot of premium programmes.
I am hopeful that there will be plenty of AVOD streamers on the scene before long, with an ad-free subscription available, although it's possible that even these will have a lower level subscription to pay, as Peacock is planning to do.

Some don't want subscriptions though or they might want to have maybe one or two subscriptions where they can dip in and out of when there is some good content on there.
How many subscribed to NOW TV when Game of Thrones was on there and how many unsubscribed once the series ended.
l would have loved to have seen the figures.
