Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22nd January, 2020.

22nd January, 2020.


Right … 

I’m officially going to be indoors until one.

Hopefully?

At the latest.

My new boiler is now on my wall and working.

All I need, now?

Is the visit from the electrician: who’s going to be installing the thermostat.

Here’s hoping he’s early.

I’m assuming you have access to at least one streaming service: or, at least, follow the news about them?

Disney+ is one of the bigger ones to launch, recently.

But has done so, in patches.

It launched in November, in the US: and some other countries.

And HAD planned to launch in the UK, on the 31st March.

Well … 

Disney’s decided to launch the UK version of its streaming service a week early: on 24th March.

The speculation is that Disney are doing the early launch: in order to reduce piracy.

Given the easy availability of fully loaded Kodi boxes*?

Given the easy access to torrents trackers like Pirate Bay?   And easy access to bit torrent clients like BitTorrent, µTorrent and Transmission?


I think Disney’s a bit late.

Pirates have already put The Mandalorian online.


Disney could have helped themselves by having a global launch: on one, universal, date …
