Would be fucking hilarious if the Warner-Discovery merger is actually just a massive corporate looting (like Toys-R-Us and Sears) and by the end of this year there would be no more Warner with massive franchises eradicated from Earth.
edit: I mean like, instead of selling off DC to Disney they just liquidated the whole thing, straight up just firing everyone and sell off the furnitures. Then the financebros just hold into the IPs speculatory and putting them into permanent limbo. Just no more Superman past 2022.
It'd be even funnier than that - to keep the IP rights you have to use them periodically, which means just absolute garbage movies with actors noone has ever heard of direct to the gas station DVD bargain bin.
"According to Cartoon Crave, all videos related to the animated anthology series created by Owen Dennis (Regular Show), including the pilot, have been removed from Cartoon Network's YouTube channel. Moreover, every tweet mentioning Infinity Train has been removed from Cartoon Network's Twitter. The show's soundtrack was also removed from music streaming platforms such as Pandora, YouTube and Apple Music, though it still remains available to stream on Spotify."
Literal, unironic :19::84:
And it's just gone from HBO Max. I hate the consumption issues that come with buying hard copies of media, but this is so sad and frustrating.
A VPN + torrented copy is often the only way to keep access to really cool but less profitable shows. And as a bonus, no need to own a physical copy.
Various people find themselves on a mysterious train with an endless number of cars, each one being its own universe, and they must find a way to get home in this animated anthology series.
this sounds pretty fuckin' cool. looks like there are episodes on iptorrents
i always thought that episode was just Royland making fun of the fans that were asking for more plot or storylines or something, but if Infinity Train turns out the be the main reason for that, then that's fucked up
First of all, back when movie theaters first started didn’t we decide it was illegal for companies to own both the media and the distribution service (theater)? Shouldn’t that apply to streaming services too? Why are any companies who make shows allowed to own streaming services?
Second, all media should be owned by the government and made openly and permanently available for streaming at no individual cost. There should never be a question of “Is that available to watch somewhere?” That service should also have API hooks to allow other sites to access those and give a more targeted or slimmed experience (like how Nitter deals with Twitter).
Yes.
If you forced me to come up with a way to make it work under capitalism I would say a time limited exclusivity thing, same concept as current copyright but way more restriction.
Still the single core platform, operated by the government, and allow production companies to charge for their access portals where they can have exclusive rights to show their content for 5 or 10 years. But if they no longer want to show that content or the time is up, it goes into the public access system.
So HBO uploads each episode of Game of Thrones to a government owned system, seasons 1-6 would be available publicly or on any service that wants to feature it, while seasons 7-8 would currently still only be available to watch on HBO Max, which is just another thing that accesses the central system. This year season 7 would become available to everyone, next year season 8.
Or you could simply come up with a formula to determine how much to pay media creators, probably based on a mix of watch time, views, ratings, and external policy deliberately supporting certain media production
This is all our fault for not buying enough merch, how could we do this to them, capitalism didnt fail us we failed it :NOOOOO:
remember when rick&morty did an entire episode dedicated to ragging on this show even though it's even more unknown than fuggin symbionic titan and had been out for only like 2 weeks at the time?
wtf you already killed infinity train you fucking assholes. It was supposed to have like 10 seasons.
I did my part sending hate mail to support@hbomax.com, I'm sure they'll think twice next time
