I'm willing to give Disney slack on the copyright thing.
they are doing exactly what is required of them as far as stockholder value and preservation of their financial interests require.
i am more peeved at 1) congress for giving in to their lobby (and naming it for the late Sonny Bono, making it an election crime not to support), and 2) the supreme court for throwing the "limited time" clause of the constitution out the window.
that a corporation wants to protect its interests is fine, even necessary. that a government willingly gives up its control over corporations AND throws aspects of its own founding document into the trash for the sake of a few election dollars is what i have a problem with.
