I don’t know why the concept of a boycott is hard for some people. Boycotting a product or company does not entitle you to still have access to the product. If you can still get it without supporting them, fine, but the premise of a boycott is generally saying that you would rather go without than support the company. They can just, not watch zootopia. If that is not an option for them then they are not actually interested in boycotting. If anything, it’s more effective if people don’t pirate. That way there’s less people talking about the thing and less general interest. People who still watched it are the outliers and when they ask why no one has seen it you can explain why. I get that they are a huge company, but this is how boycotts actually work.
Have them check out their local library for blurays. Yeah it’s less convenient than just downloading it but if they have kids they’re likely visiting the library regularly anyway.
Pirate streaming sites would be the best choice for them. Help them put a VPN on their device, bookmark the megathread, and explain how important activating their VPN before streaming is. That’s probably the easiest route for the non-tech crowd
So what do I tell my non-techie friends to do? Hard to teach them how to sail the high seas easily. Especially those that live elsewhere.
Well, depending on how good your media library is you could give them access to your contents.

Just pirate it for them. 🤷♂️
It’s a delivery issue. I’d be sending a drive or something. My internet sucks so setting up Plex for them isn’t easy.
Seedboxes are cheap, you can rent one with Plex or Jellyfin and 1TB of storage space for like $7/mo.
Carrier pigeon is technically faster than broadband.
