What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo

It’s a rickshaw operation. No IP, no nothing. Those developers are creating commodity software that’s worth jack shit.

Cook never said that or hinted at it. What Cook said was: >We’re always looking to buy companies, we acquire a lot of smaller companies and we’ll continue to do that to add more talent to the IP. We don’t discount anything big if the opportunity presents itself. I won’t be looking at our inventory with you on this call, but we’re always looking. That's it. Nothing more. So, you take a generic statement, and people blow it out of proportion. The only people mentioning the word Disney are people outside of the organization and speculators. We've been hearing this same story for years and years. As time goes on, the idea gets more ridiculous. It might have made sense when Netflix was gaining traction, and Apple and Disney weren't in the Streaming Wars. Would have made perfect sense then for Apple and Disney to merge - or even create a JV which leveraged Apple's Technology and Disney Catalog to compete with Netflix. But now? What exactly is the business case that a JV or Merger would bring any advantage to either company?

"What if you are thinking WBD as more of a turn around value style play" I don't know that this is a turnaround story - I don't know that there's anything really considerably wrong with the business. What you've seen over the last several months is the business; it's not a good place to be in a downturn and not a particularly fantastic place to be when times are great. Again, look at media stocks that have been around - LGF and AMCN have been lousy investments since IPO, the latter having been public now for a little over a decade. Now you have a time period where the golden age of streaming is over - spending is being curtailed and there's far too many services - all of which are very easy for consumers to unsubscribe from at any time, or at least until something they're interested in returns. "possible expansion into gaming down the road" They already have Warner Interactive Entertainment and you can see what that has done over the years. I'd rather invest in gaming stocks with strong IP that are down a lot vs hoping that WBD eventually becomes a stronger player in gaming, but that's just imo. "I wouldn’t say I expect to hold it 20 years but a 5 year hold from this price I think easily beats the s and p. " Again, I think you can do well riding a recovery in the economy - whenever that is - but after that settles out I just think you're better off elsewhere. TLDR: IMO, pure play media stocks aren't great businesses but good luck and hope you do well.

I told you fuckers to look at it 5 times while it was under $130. I rode that bitch from 120 to 300, now it’s all in Tesla until Enphase pulls back (if it does). This is a nice long term play imo. Lots of IP and a massive TAM.

shortsqueezerr

Mmmh.. At 0.20$ was technically oversold and was easy a bounce to 0.30..for a buyout I'd bet on COMS cause they bought a lot of companies (no cash left indeed) and now they have a strong IP. On TCDA they have a phase 3 failed and over 50 mln in cash. If they are smart could buy a phase 2 drug skyrocketing the ticker and do a dilution continuing the game...But I'm not the CEO 😆

snowflake25911

> country’s countries I think a lot of what you're factoring in isn't really long-term, or kind of misses the point. Companies will continue to expand worldwide, what matters is the ability to capture market share once you're there. Streaming services are a wild card both individually and as a whole, the margins aren't great, subsets of content like sports are very expensive, and it's difficult to create resource intensive content due to competition, and frankly D+ isn't doing all that great. All of these companies are highly vulnerable to social trends and to the value of their IP, which is not a "once you have it you're done" deal. As youtube-style content creation gets going, it's going to be increasingly difficult to justify spending $0.5M to create a few video clips' worth of mediocre seth meyers jokes when the content someone produced in their basement is just as good (though this is not to say that traditional formats as a whole are existentially threatened). Ability to capitalize on video games, the growth of which is insane at the moment and at the tipping point of more immersive experiences, is difficult to predict. People are having less children, which will pose a threat to theme parks and a lot of their branded products (i.e. childhood in a box with a price tag) in their current form. Disney's PE is high, so a lot of the potential successes you're seeing are priced in. I don't think anyone disputes that they'll be around for a while, but I have a difficult time seeing them outperform the S&P. All you're listing is reasons why Disney will continue to make money in the short-medium term, which is obvious, but it's unclear why you think, or whether you've thought about, whether it will beat the market/whether the price is worth it, whether their competitive advantage is actually going to hold once other companies claim their stake in VR video games and star wars finally dies, and what content creation will look like in 10-20 years' time. Essentially the same goes for WB.

Theory: apple pulls the plug on Twitter and/or enters a legal war, leading to 'contagion' pressure on Tesla share price. Plot twist: Apple buys controlling interest in Tesla at hugely reduced price, to get the IP, for use in its own cars.

Tesla will be fine. It just rejected its 200 weekly moving average and shot up. Nothing at the core of the company has changed. It still has highly differentiated technology and IP, and a network of companies like SpaceX which help boost its profitability. They're still differentiated in AI and battery technology, and broadly deployed infrastructure, along with consistently putting out innovative new designs.Traditional auto manufacturers just can't do this stuff with the same success. Tesla almost imploded multiple times. If these technologies like self-driving trucks take off, there's just nobody with all of the key pieces and manufacturing capabilities like Tesla. Like it or not, even the Twitter feud could breed new tech, like global Starlink phones and the like, which would also be game-changing.

garyscomics

Man this blind Elon hate is way over the top lol I mean there are at least 100 good reasons to hate the guy, but what you just described is not one of them. Tesla has opened up and made widely available a bunch of important EV parents and IP to encourage adoption. The exact opposite of what apple does.

shortsqueezerr

I like COMS..it has a great IP and it was crashed.. Now it has a great CEO (ad interim).. He's selling some assets and maybe the whole company...Maybe some news incoming .take a look👍just my opinion

yarrr0123

They’re approaching “too big to fail”. Not in the notion that the government would bail them out, but they are getting a customer base that’s just going to be too valuable, too much IP, assets, etc to just go under and out of existence. They may enter acquisition territory, and I can see Ford or GM buying them if it comes to it.

CorporateNonperson

I’m hearing a lot of discontent because of the tie in sets they are doing with other IP. The fluff has always been as important as the mechanics, and by damaging the immersion of the fluff, they are shooting a big middle finger to the fandom.

MrMasticate

Im sorry how many trucks did they produce without stolen IP again? Having trouble remembering. Surely it was more than 0.

Jpat863

Yep Disney has a great moat with their intellectual property but am have been struggling for a while now thus trading in the same range for years now. You can have the best intellectual property out there but if you can’t capitalize on it and just continue to barely make a profit on all that IP then they don’t deserve such a high multiple from the market.

Caffeine_Monster

> not really sure why its happening It's a really simple thing to explain, because we've seen it so much in other industries like video games. They are stagnating because of poor management and an aversion to new IP risk. Why risk a new IP from newer writers or actors, when you can just stick a few Hollywood stars into Marvel's <insert hero name here> <insert sequel number here>. Disney aren't (generally) producing bad movies - but they are many mediocre ones, and it's starting to show in sales. Problem is that mediocre isn't good enough when so many Disney films have insane budgets.

whoknowzz

A company has a value, let’s say it’s worth $1m. The value is determined by many things, such as property, assets, IP, etc owned. it’s also worth how many clients they have, and the rate at which they are growing, because it is generating $ currently and more over time. Stock ownership means you own a % of the company, so if you own 1% of this company, it’s comes out to $10,000. You can sell that 1% of the company for how much ever you want. Let’s say the company grows 10x, it’s now “worth” $10m. Would you sell your 1% for $10k now in that case? No, you’ll sell it at its newest valuation based on assets owned, clients, cash flow, etc. If you choose not to sell your 1%, but they decide to sell the whole company to a larger company, you would get your 1% of whatever the company is purchased at. The company would do their due diligence to determine what is a fair value, based on assets they own, how much they make, etc.

BookMobil3

This is true..and many others have listed most of the relevant issues. But also, imagine if they would’ve taken the 70billion used to buy the debt laden 20th Century Fox, and instead used the money to better leverage the rest of their IP into videogames (an industry that has been outpacing Hollywood for decades now)… i think their cash flow sitchu would be different and thus the share price. Some of the price action is inevitable with how markets have been in this span, but mistakes have been made. Some might be corrected but I think it will take a couple quarters maybe many more.

zipzopzoobadeebop

Really, you don’t think the OT had a political agenda? George Lucas has gone on record saying it was allegorical to the Vietnam war and America is the Empire. When people didn’t get it the first time he made it even more obvious in RotJ. Idk, this is such a forced assertion, to say that Disney is doing poorly because some people didn’t like the sequel trilogy. It’s very much inserting your own feelings into it. The movies made billions of dollars in profit. Even Rise of Skywalker had a billion dollar box office alone. They were huge successes. You can say they moved away from theatrical releases after Ep9 but to say it’s because it was “bad” is subjective. There’s way more evidence to support they moved away from it because all focus was shifted to support streaming. It was the same situation across every studio. Shareholders wanted streaming and stocks were skyrocketing so the studio heads doubled down. The LucasFilm execs definitely bungled their theatrical vision in the long run, but not because of “woke” but because they didn’t know what else to do beyond the Skywalker stories. They clearly knocked it out of the park with the Disney Plus shows, at least according to most fans who complain about the sequel trilogy. But the steaming model isn’t a good revenue generator and the bubble is popping across the industry on that front. Netflix, WB, universal, Disney, they’re all hurting right now because investors realized that steaming wasn’t as viable a model as they thought. There’s never going to be enough subscribers to finance a movie studio. If anything Disney is better situated now thanks to very diverse revenue streams and strong IP. So anyway, conclusion is, you might not like the new Star Wars content, and you might want to vindicate yourself by connecting that to Disneys financial woes, but that don’t make it so.

dcrico20

I actually think this is just a correction from the parks being hype since pandemic restrictions were lifted. The park changes were completely shit, so I think they got as much as they could mill out of it, but long-term the current operating status isn’t viable. Disney+ is a pretty safe long-term bet in streaming, imo. Disney owns by far the most legacy IP, and that’s shaping up to be what matters most.

Affectionate-Yak5280

Exactly. All these comments about poor management fail to say they got rid of the current ceo who was trying to preserve the bottom line, and brought back in the ex ceo who set the company down this direction of woke politics and acquiring any IP at any cost and then destroying it.

PaulinLA23

The issues with SW have nothing to do with “wokeism” lol… they have been poorly mapped out retreads where the anxiety of the executives on full display as that new trilogy was released. Episode 9 might be one of the most catastrophically poor examples of a script in the last 10 years. Andor is about as “woke” and openly political as any SW content and it is easily one of the best executions of the IP that Disney has pulled off because it is a focused and highly refined piece of media

PaulinLA23

Kathleen Kennedy just does not seem well suited to manage and organize a plan for an IP like SW. The planless trilogy was a colossal red flag.

mktesq

The problem is that SW can't move away from the Skywalker timeline. They're afraid to lose that IP, so they keep mining the fan service. Fans like me (first gen fans) want to move beyond the Skywalkers and see something new. What they did to the OT and our heroes with the NT is unforgivable. I would stand in line for hours to be the first in the theater. I did that for TPM before my last ever law school final. Now, I couldn't be bothered. That's what they did to me. They made me not care.

freedraw

They still have to pay millions of dollars to make the shows, even if they own the IP.

WOLFofICX

I hold Dis and am trimming my position now. I was disappointed when they cut the div, then again when all of their expensive IP aquisitions were flushed down the drain by lack of a vision and milking franchises dry. Now they bring back Iger which means they must think things are bad enough they have to revert back to the norm rather than find a proper ceo with a new vision that isn’t the trainwreck that chapek created. Bringing Iger back for me is the final straw. They just renewed chapeks contract this year and then they sack him for the dude who hand picked him… I know better than to bet against the mouse by I would rather have my dollars elsewhere in the coming years.

AGreenWallFan

Disney will likely be fine, they have many solid revenue streams. With that said, if your business allows one of your largest IP acquisitions of the past 10 years to roll out a trilogy with no overarching plan, you have bigger problems. Personal feelings on their content aside, that is a very worrisome development. How do you let your executives green light billions of spending without a plan?

KingCuckTren

China needs access to western businesses IP as much as we need their cheap labor market and consumers. They’ll just fuck themselves and go the way of the Soviet Union economy

Spazza42

And every original TV show they’ve made under these big IP’s has been mediocre or crap because they’re more interested in a work agenda than good story telling. Marvel and Star Wars got crap.

fredandlunchbox

I don’t get it at all. Park revenues are through the roof, D+ has been killing it. Yes, theater revenues are down, but they replaced it with streaming subscribers. They own all the IP with the most rabid fans except HP, which is honestly a liability with the public perception of JKR these days. What does the street see that I don’t see?

BuddyFox310

Biotech would be a start but given your scenario you would want to amplify the risk/return. By adjusting and selecting for disease target, novel mechanism of action and stage of development and then adding additional corporate risk. Therapeutic areas - something big and/or very rare (high reward) such as Alzheimer’s, prader-Willis or maybe oncology (glioblastoma) Stage - pre-clinical or phase 1. So there is less than a 1:10,000 chance of approval right there. I assume it has to be public, but they are out there. You can’t estimate approval timelines on a pre clinical or phase 1 biotech. Mechanism of action - novel. Without precedent, so no or limited prior data to support safety or efficacy. And no comparable pathway for FDA to easily approve. And then how it actually works is unique. Biotech specifically, big complex molecules. Not small molecule drugs. This adds it’s own complexities. Other corporate risk - they have only a single drug asset under development. No diversification. Not big Pharma or Biotech. A smaller company. They own all the IP. And then they have their own management team 1) that was successful at raising venture capital funding but no prior successes in actual drug development that they have driven, 2) they have a weak manufacturing plan and don’t understand the complexities of manufacturing at scale, 3) they have a Chief commercialization Officer that is weak and won’t be able to roll out a multi billion dollar blockbuster drug, and 4) their regulatory affairs officer is way out classed They recently went public and will likely still need $500M-$3B in new capital to get the drug thru the FDA. Costs before you have to finance a big rollout and marketing. So the risk would be there. And theoretically the outsized upside reward. And then the tactic would be go long. They could potentially manage thru short duration options. But navigating the longer scientific, approval and commercialization pathways would not be likely. That’s how I would do it.

hardervalue

That's temporary if the government wants to find the owner. Often they will be able to match an IP address to the wallet owner, which will often provide a very tight geographical area and sometimes an organisation they belong to. Thats why so many large crypto thefts end up with the coins trapped in a wallet with the thief terrified to try to move them.

ReloadJo

Yeah as an IP lawyer the idea that you just eliminate IP from their balance sheets is flabbergasting lmao. For content creators most of their value is in the IP, especially for a company like Disney. There's a reason the Copyright Term Extension Act us colloquially referred to as the Mickey Mouse Law.

Mouse1701

Some have mentioned about IP is movies and tv shows Disney has. Not all movies are created the same as far as value. Matter of fact as some movie get older the value diminishes as time goes on. The films and tv shows from Disney are actually no longer being shown except for a app. It's just really hard to justify the content being worth over a 100 million.

atwegotsidetrekked

You can’t remove the IP, at Disney, that is content. They are still making money on all the old movies and shows. Not to mention merchandising from that content. Disney is the shows that they make and have a near eternal income from them without producing anything.

Mouse1701

The point is Disney is broke as a joke. I always consider IP as false intangible assets that is often manipulated to be made to sound like it's worth more than what it is.. Kind of like these digital coins etc.

ijakinov

In terms of what’s in it for them. Profits trickle up, there more than just COD (notably blizzard). They said they are interested in the mobile (King). There’s also been mentions of investing in certain IP that hasn’t gotten a lot of attention (e.g StarCraft).They can prioritize their platforms and they can also later start to make things more exclusive over time. The underlying business units growing in profits or at least revenue is also good for them. The deal was all cash they aren’t paying any interest and if they are making more money from owning the company than it sitting in the bank that’s good for them. It’s even accepted (GAAP) to say they broke even on the deal if that happens. I think the only reason this acquisition is getting extra attention is because of the size of Microsoft (overall) and the size of this purchase. There’s a lot of big tech is too big (split them up) talk floating around the last few years. Also side note the converting friends over thing doesn’t matter much anymore because most big MP games are cross play nowadays.

GorilloSoul

High Tide the highest grossing IP in Canada now what's y'all opinion on that?

ijakinov

The Xboxes are $100-200 loses per unit. Getting a better cut isn’t going to offset the sheer volume loss in sales/mtx . We’d have to assume that a very significant amount of people will actually sell their PS5 or not buy a PS5 for this IP which is unlikely (brand loyalty, don’t have money, interested in other exclusives or will simply settle for something else, etc.). Getting people to pay for gold is great extra revenue but it’s still a fraction of what you’d get from just selling the game in both places. And like I said in my original post, I believe this is in their best interest short term. Longer term when they are able to prove them can get a sizeable install base again it’s arguably make more sense to make this move at the start of a generation and keep making money in the short term. As it stands today Microsoft platform isn’t that attractive and I think you’d lose out on more sales than people you’ll convert over. And again I think Minecraft is a great example of this. It’s more popular than COD and they release it everywhere. Bethesda was much much less money and do business a lot differently. Activision releases a cod game every year selling a shit ton of copies. Bethesda does a bunch of new IP that usually just sells оKay. They also paid a premium for Activision when the prices were stupidly high.

PriceSoggy9853

To be fair, a huge amount of money they’re saying avitar 2 cost went to technology developed for the movie that will be used again, so it’s a grey area there. Plus they have avitar 3-5 which will be pumped out eventually without Cameron (my guess, unless 2 is received as like the best movie of all time, which, it’s James Cameron, I’d say there’s a 50% or higher chance that could happen), they’ll milk this IP as hard as possible.

EduinBrutus

> since the underlying IP and product are absolutely real and valuable The product is badly built. It also doesnt appear to offer the sort of advantages over other EVs that their claimed tech advantage should offer. I suspect most of their claims of a technological lead are like everything else with Musk - pure bullshit.

ijakinov

Microsoft would lose out on so much money taking COD off PlayStation at least in the short term. It's not in their best interest to pay such a hefty price for Activision just to cut out the vast majority of their revenue. They own an even more popular IP than COD and they still release games on compeiting platforms and will release a game next year.

Tontors

They just bought Bethesda not long ago also. They keep buying IP until they can compete with Sony I guess. As a gamer and investor I hope the deal falls through. ATVIs best days are long behind them and screw making long standing series exclusive.

dreexel_dragoon

Yes and no; it obviously doesn't merit it's current valuation but to say "it's a grift" is a bad faith argument since the underlying IP and product are absolutely real and valuable, at least as much as any other major car manufacturer.

I Just did, I've always wanted to go. The wife and I had some great drinks and food. I liked the weather too. I'm star wars fan and had some fun with that. The rides were solid and lines were small. Maybe not the best single day of my life but top 10. Had pretty strong pot bevy before the gates. It's clean, well organized, charming and the IP they own is some of my favorite. I'm taking my kids in a while and am really excited to show them a good time.

The internet will still be based on IP, not everything on the internet today can be modeled as a transaction. You can't own content on a platform that is hosted by telecom giants. Don't make any sense

Not true they are backed by actual assets like fiat currency, land, buildings, inventory, IP, trade marks and cash flow.

Dude made a deal with Chinese government & China is probably feeding him stolen IP (Intellectual Property).

shortsqueezerr

They are selling some assets (maybe the whole company) and probably today quarterly report will be out to be compliant with nasdaq rules. They are waiting news about nasdaq extension. It was crashed by a bad management.. They have acquired lot of companies and their IP is awesome (value is well over 100 mln) but now they have no money. Now they have Mr Knight as (interim) CEO...from the COMS website: 'Mr. Knight is a seasoned and successful technology and operations executive having led turnarounds and transformations of multiple technology and services companies. He previously served as CEO of Dispersive Holdings, a cybersecurity company based in Atlanta, GA and was CEO of Federos (acquired by Oracle). Earlier, Mr. Knight held senior management positions at Motorola, SEI and at Micromuse where he was responsible for the acquisition and integration of over $200 million in subsidiaries and partnerships prior to the firm’s purchase by IBM"... So many catalysts/news incoming here. NFA

I've been to China a lot as an IP lawyer both because lots of client's manufacturing happens there and it's where most of the counterfeiting of their product happens. I really like China, its people, and its culture for the most partner. There are definitely some of the hardest working people I've ever met in my life. There are also a fair share of scam artists (counterfeiters are just one). But this is not unique to China, every culture has its good and bad people. I used to be bullish on China and owned quite a few Chinese stocks. When I was last visiting there between 2017-2019, it really felt like the future, and in many ways the US felt so far behind. The bullet train and infrastructure, speed with which things got built, and ease of payment and transaction methods are just a few things that come to mind. I no longer feel that way. So much has changed under Xi in the past few years, and the reality is that the CCP can change things and completely disrupt the economy whenever and however it wants. This was most obvious during the lockdowns, which completely shut down the city where most of my clients finances are local HQs are located (Shanghai) and where most of the manufacturing takes place (Guangdong province). It's not just that though. There have been crackdowns in so many other areas, including on big tech and companies like Ali or Didi, but also on industries viewed as cultural insubordinate. The burgeoning video game industry was completely undercut by limitations on play time, and even boy band shows were cancelled. It's these things - and not any animous towards Chinese people - that makes me weary of China's future and investing in it. Xi seems more concerned with political control than the economy, and has purged from government many people from the Deng Xiaoping line of thought who believed in economic liberalization. I feel badly for the Chinese people. I truly believe they could continue to thrive as a nation under different leadership. I'm very skeptical of it under current leadership, and would have to see some major change at the top over a prolonged period of time before I felt comfortable investing there again.

It will take a while but Iger will get it back going. Also its about as low as it can go historically. Disney owns a massive amount of IP. I feel its a good discounted price to get in. It might continue to dip but the long play is certainly there.

Plus, unless you're running a static IP at home, it will frequently change there as well. Especially if you leave it unplugged for awhile (like if you leave for work and just unplug it before you go.) The longer it's off, the better chance that another router in that block will have grabbed that IP.

I’ve seen this sort of company before. They just sit in research groups as the people that will commercialise the IP of the research. They just burn through these and dump nearly all IP. The research funding covers their operating cost. Lots of big companies have these research departments.

Obviously each of those deals was separate and some were better than others. But Fox was unquestionably allowed to be bid up. They essentially paid for a top tier studio - then gutted it for the IP and shut down most of what they bought. Even though it probably wasn’t intentional, they did the same with Pixar. They bought an amazing company and turned it into a direct-to-streaming sequel generator. Marvel worked out for them though. They bought that for peanuts. It was already on path to being a juggernaut. They just had to fund it to ramp up production and stay out of the way (which is working).

Changing your dynamic IP and logging into Twitter on a new account in incognito after clearing cookies worked when I got banned about 3 separate times. Also worked for my FRIEND who used it to evade a subreddit ban.

cigarettesandwater

I know I'll get downvoted but Disney is a dying company and Iger is merely a small bandaid, rather than the cure. His approach was to overspend for IP (Pixar, Marvel, LucasFilms, and Fox) rather than create a culture of organic creativity. While in the first phase of this approach the IP was providing returns, this has turned Disney into a "sequel-machine" and I think it's shown as of late that people just don't care anymore about the core franchises since they've been milked to death. So while Chapek obviously was wrong to approach Disney as a manufactured goods company, I do think Iger would be in a very similar spot if he had stayed on. There is just nothing being created or innovated at Disney anymore.

You say "meh" at the box office, but its smashing the competition. Thor 4 wasn't well recieved but it stills mashed Black Adam. Doctor Strange 2 had the 2nd highest box office of the year behind Top Gun. Wakanda forever is already smashing Black Adam. People keep saying the IP is tired but that's not what the numbers show. These are smaller phase 4 movies and they're getting solid results.

Temporary_Ad_2544

This. When you bot h the most expensive IP you own, BUT have the internal comparison of the execution of the MCU right next door there needs to be an explanation.

Browwser-based unique device tokens are typically tied to cookies. So clear your cookies and use the browser vs a reddit app. IP is much easier, yeah you could use a VPN from home. Also you could just stay off your home wifi while using reddit and simply connect via your cell service. Cell tower IP's flip constantly as your device connects to different towers, they couldn't IP ban a cell tower IP anyway because so many people use it to connect.

I agree but it was actually iger who wanted that. It comes from the colosal failure of John carter and mickeys copyright ending where Disney started buying known franchises. I think it’s the way these movies and franchises will be managed in different media outlets is where iger will do the change. Probably similar to how Warner will do. Like not releasing half ass movies in streaming or probably sell them to broadcasters first. Try to make them. More scarfed so they regain value. We all wanted more Star Wars and marvel but it got too watered down and confusing. With that said, overall I do think relying so heavily on just 2 franchises is crazy. Once we all get bored with those it’ll be too late to try other things. They still have 20th century , which has tons of content and franchises not being used. Outside of X-men theres plenty of IP.

Willow's fermentation of cannabinoids is actually infringing on cannabinoid biosynthesis IP from ACB and XXII. Likely going to see some litigation on this in the next year.

immibis

There's not even any actual evidence reddit IP bans people for it ... all we have to go on is the word of an anonymous subreddit moderator

SeliciousSedicious

They certainly still do IP bans or did earlier in the year. Guess they don’t now though lol.

TheLongestLake

I am a believer in Disney. Their long term value is pretty obvious so the floor is just high. In 10 years there is a chance that other car producers make equal electric cars to Tesla that sell for 7k less and Tesla would make no money. In 10 years, worst case scenario, the parks will still be wildly popular and the IP will be valuable to someone.

TomatilloAbject7419

I think there are definitely ways around the whole static / dynamic IP ban thing, though, by going through your ISP. Which may or may not be something Reddit does, but other major tech players will definitely go that far if the offense is egregious enough.

kgal1298

Yeah I was reading more about it and they said it was pretty disastrous and missed projections by a lot especially on the Disney Plus side. Iger as expected is signed for 2 years. I am interested if they'll carry on with layoffs, but they are doing a major restructuring to put some control back into their creatives hands, which honestly makes sense because Disney is not a tech company it's a creative company who's money relies on it's IP's performing well for the most part.

BadAtRocks

If you get a IP ban on your phone just switch to using your computer. If you get banned on that go buy a new router and start again.

singapourkafe

Since when are Reddit bans IP and device/hardware ID?
