I didn't need another reason to loathe and avoid #Disney but you may use a nudge. #DisneyMustPay

When Disney bought Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox, they neglected to do something: pay royalties on contracted works as part of the sale.

"Disney’s argument is that they have purchased the rights but not the obligations of the contract. In other words, they believe they have the right to publish work, but are not obligated to pay the writer no matter what the contract says."

I’m glad #Netflix is losing #Disney titles to Disney+. It’s an easy cop-out for when my 5 year-old kid will ask me why he can’t watch one of their movies, rather than having to explain how Disney is exploiting intellectual property and why it’s wrong.


Worked as a charm tonight, dodged Frozen (2013) in favor of Turbo (2013). I didn't even have to mention Disney+.
