That legit makes me sad. I loved watched old cartoons there. Does anyone know where else i can watch them?

As far as I know, it isn't illegal to attain or have media for personal use. It is illegal to circumvent DRM and to distribute the media.
So, for example, it isn't illegal to record a stream. But the hoops you'd have to jump through in order to do so would end up circumventing DRM or with incredibly poor quality.

They would rather make it harder for people to access their content rather than making it easier to be a paying customer
