CNN Max is likely to evolve over time. Among the features the company will try out are ways of alerting Max viewers to breaking news while they are watching something else on the service, whether it be an HBO series, a Turner Classic Movies selection or an old episode of Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.”
The enshittification of our world continues unabated.
True, but not as helpful for the Turner Classic Movies side of the business. A lot of old films are not available via piracy sites because there isn’t much interest in them outside of a niche film buff market. I haven’t looked, but I’m guessing I’m not going to see too many Dead End Kids or Boston Blackie movies on a torrent site, but I might on TCM. And now they’re going to interrupt that with bullshit.
Just did a quick search and there seems to be some material from both in archive.org, even youtube and theres some DEK movies in yts too. In case you are interested.
They were just examples off the top of my head. There might be options for some of those, but I doubt that TCM’s entire library is available for pirate or Internet Archive download.
Sorry, I didnt mean to say that as if you were wrong. You probably are right, tbh.
Still, theres more obscure shit on the internets than people think there is; so I thought I share it.
Piracy is still a viable alternative to oppressive corporations even when you are into old/obscure stuff and, imo, even if the entirety of TCMs catalogue isnt available… yet.
It depends on how deep you wish to go down the hole.
For me, and especially now that Netflix is ending their DVD service, if I can’t find something old via torrent, I’ll find it on DVD on Amazon, used for as cheap as possible. Then, rip it, and sell it back on Amazon used. Odds are, whoever is buying it from me is doing the same thing I just did.
