I'm currently downloading a show that is on a service to which I subscribe
I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don't know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is working.
So now I'm here pirating a show that should be available to me through a service I pay for. Gabe was right, piracy is a service problem.

On most of these services you can download but you must be connected to the internet to verify that you have the right to watch the file you downloaded.
So... what's the point of downloading then?
Download stuff to your phone over wifi and watch away from home without eating up cellular.
Their support site literally says "when you don't have an internet connection" so if it's working the way you describe then it's not working as designed.
Last time they did it to me was amazon, its said I have to connect at least every 3 days to get permission.
I downloaded this stuff hours before I went to the airport.
Bloody typical.
They take our money by offering features that don't meet advertised expectations.
And, yet, we'd be the ones labelled criminals for downloading via other means.
Netflix didn't use to do this-- you could watch in airplane mode. Any idea if that changed?
