Go Daddy down, Disney Next

4 points by talkingtab 15y ago

Disney has turned to the dark side. They want to criminalize kids so they can make obscene profits. If a day of bad publicity can change GoDaddy, a week or month of bad publicity will change Disney. One company at a time. Explain to friends, family, children, google+, facebook and twitter that Disney has gone bad.

Disney is the same company who didn't like video because people could watch it more than once without paying each time, and because one person could buy[1] a video but more than one person could watch it, and Disney would only get the one fee. Disney has worked hard at single use technology; from video tapes that needed to be rewound by special machine to DVDs that degrade within 48 hours when exposed to air. Nothing, nothing, will persuade Disney that SOPA is a bad idea.

  You're missing a footnote, and I'm not sure what you mean by "video" in the first paragraph.

    Disney didn't like video tape. [1] buy / "buy a licence to view" Also, Disney is one of the worst companies for using the forced / unskippable viewing of trailers and ads before the movie on DVD / Blu Ray.

Robert Iger: Impersonating Uncle Walt - In January, Disney announced that Iger’s latest annual compensation topped $28 million, a neat 35 percent increase over the year before. This fall Iger became the newest member of the Apple computer board of directors. He’ll get a six-figure tip for the gig, plus a free copy of any new Apple product he wants. Unfortunately, some housekeepers who work at the hotels in Disneyland have been raining on Bob Iger’s Disney parade. They went almost four years without a contract because they refused to accept Disney demands they feared would force them to pay hundreds of dollars a year extra for health care. The original Walt Disney, the hotel workers union pointed out, made 108 times what his housekeepers were making in 1966. Iger now makes 781 times as much. Read about him here, and then you'll know why Disney couldn't care less how we the people feel. Know your enemy! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Iger http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Iger
