Could we have a list of known Disney movies currently in the vault, and when they are planned or estimated to be released? --QQQ (4-19-08)

Since this information isn't the same for people in every country, is somewhat trivial, would be difficult to find reputable sources for (it would have to be debated whether UltimateDisney.com is a reputable source), and finally would result in an unwieldy list (it'd be easier to list what _isn't_ on moratorium), there's no point in doing so. As such, I removed the poorly written list that was previously here from the article. --209.16.115.62 (talk) 21:23, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Piracy

Shouldn't there be more in this article about how the Disney Vault has led to an increase in piracy for the movies that are currently unavailable? Just take a look at eBay or the torrent trackers. To me, this is a very archaic business model. If I'm a parent, and I want my kids to see a movie that I grew up with, I'm not going to wait around for the movie to come out of the vault, I'm going to want them to see it while they're still kids. My old VHS tapes are worn, and I don't even have a VHS player anymore. What it comes down to is, the best way to get many of these movies without paying an outrageous price is to pirate them.

The attitude toward media in the 21st century is basically, "if it's not available for me to buy legally, then I'm going to get it another way." The market can't really be controlled anymore. Disney is not exempt from this. It's no wonder that the bootleggers love this as much as the collectors, but it's a shame for parents and children, the people these movies were supposedly made for. You could argue that many of these Disney movies were the last great examples of wholesome entertainment. If I could buy them legally, then I would, but obviously Disney doesn't need or want my money.
