And they just fired Terry Moran for the mildest tweet critical of the current administration imaginable.
I legit just cancelled my Disney+/hulu/espn account over it.

It’s hard to feel sympathetic for Disney when they have more money than god.

They got that money because of strong enforcement of copyright protections.
Without copyright laws, everyone could’ve just shared Disney’s shit without fear of repercussion and they would have billions less while we collectively have billions more.

Hey man, the only people who can challenge the new oligarchs, so it seems, are the old oligarchs. And I say: let them fight!

There are solid gold or platinum asteroids out there, but God only gave us the resources of earth in the bible.
So God is definitely richer than Disney.

Nvidia can do a hostile takeover of Disney if they wanted to

In this case that's exactly what we need, someone with more money than god that can set precedents to protect the authors and artists that need it the most.

So you’re saying copyright and patent laws only exist to help rich people?
I guess that would make all of the workers defending them ‘useful idiots’ then.

If patents did not exist, many people would be surprised that their medical expenses would be cheaper.

That’s just one side of the coin.

I understand. That being said, my feelings remain mixed.

Paraphrasing Churchill, if AI companies were plagiarizing hell's works I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil.
