"For example, a sports fan could simply purchase a day pass and watch select programming, such as a highly popular sports game, without purchasing a month-long subscription or paying a higher pay-per-view fee."
WOW. The greed is insane! What total pieces of sh*t! They're not even hiding it
To paraphrase:
"For example, someone could purchase a single sandwich, instead of a loaf of bread, several pounds of meat and cheese, various produce items, and a few jars of condiments."
Do they not see how dumb they sound!?
The quote is chefs kiss they’re not even trying to hide that shit. Imagine you could watch a sports event without getting virtually mugged
This is basically mafia. Boycott them, people!
They're suing over the creation of competition in the market? Certainly an interesting strategy. I hope WB, Disney, and every other scum-sucker that thinks suing is acceptable gets raked across the coals.
The only competition they want to have, is basically when they put their acquisitions against eachother like fighting with toy soldiers and see who can impress their corporate masters the most. It's sickening.
Yeah, this sure sounds like the "free market" correcting itself as these people love to prattle on about.
The passes fundamentally disrupt this industry-standard model
Funny how they didn't care about how streaming in general disrupted cable. Or how cable disrupted broadcast. Or how tv disrupted radio ...
"Video Killed The Radio Star", even, was distributed in Canada and Brazil by WEA [Warner, Elektra, Atlantic], according to Discogs. Interesting!
EDIT: But wait for their next big release with a more aggressive tone: "Sling TV Pissed Off Conglomerates"...
i ask everyone i meet if they've accepted their lord and saviour jellyfin into their lives.
Wake me up when Jellyfin does live sports
It already does. Just google iptv on jellyfin and find one of the articles that teaches you how to load a .m3u into jellyfin. Boom live tv.
It's a little annoying to get going but it's doable.
Jellyfin can use .m3u playlists for live TV. It’s a bit of work to get it going, but it is possible.
I pray to no false gods. But I do cherish Jellyfins daddy Emby. I would probably use Jellyfin but I have a lifelong emby paid from donating when they first took over MB.
I too have lifetime Emby and still use it today. Media browser renamed to Emby. They took the M and B from the old name to get the new one.
Wrong prophet but I like the religion.
Sling couldn't have asked for a better marketing campaign
This is so petty and a perfect example of why american capitalism is horrible and the government does nothing to control corporations or monopolies.
So it's the lightbulb syndicate again eh?
I always wonder why people venerate Edison so much. He did innovate, but man was he a shifty barron.
Normally I'd say Sling didn't have a prayer under this administration, but Disney has pissed everybody off - including the Grand Cheeto - so I'm just gonna go stock up on some popcorn...
The passes fundamentally disrupt this industry-standard model by allowing customers to purchase access to the most sought-after programmin
Wait wait wait, I thought disruption was good? 🤔
Only when Silicon Valley does it to someone else!
I expect them to come after Pluto and Tubi in the future...
We can't have nice things. Either those two get sued or outright bought.
Also, choke on a dick, Yohai, you fucktard.
Business idea: Get subscriptions to Disney and ESPN streaming services, then let other people buy access to those accounts for one day at a time. You'd log in for them and give them the session cookie, or something like that. Shouldn't be too hard to find a country in which that isn't breaking any laws, although I'm guessing it's probably not the USA.
It's certainly breaking TOS, so the country you're in doesn't matter.
I'm not a lawyer, but I suspect that you may be overestimating the extent to which every piece of bullshit inserted into a TOS document that nobody reads is universally enforceable.
It's not a legal issue. They'd just shut down any accounts doing this. They already detect and shut down account sharing and this is just a variant of that. No law or government intervention necessary.
One could make it technically somewhat difficult to shut down, but better yet would be to get some timely government intervention, on the side of defending our rights to do such things on the same kind of principle as the well-established doctrine of first sale.
