Considering that Disney was the main lobbyist in the US Congress for increasing Copyright period length (and hence severelly and one-sidedly cut the quid pro quo of Copyright legislation which is that Society gets those works as Public Domain after for some years enforcing the limitation on the copy of those copyrighted works) from it’s original 20 years to Death Of Author + 70 years (which in general adds up to around 150 years), people have not just earned the right of getting copies of Disney’s works without paying for them, they even have the moral high ground when they do so - you’re really just taking backs the proceeding of Crime, though as Disney bough the Law, this is one of those situations were the Crime is De Facto but not De Jure.

Have I “earned” 10.1tb of the Disney+ content that’s currently populating my hard drive?

Did you put in marginal effort and count on past successes to continue to pay off with this 10 TB, cuz if so, you and Disney’s CFO seem to have matching definitions of “earned”.

Yes.

How would one theoretically go about helping Disney create multiple dislocated backups of their best movies and tv shows in case their server breaks and we lose Pocahontas 2 forever?

Usenet or private trackers should do the trick.

One could potentially search for “trash guides” and browse through the results.
