Go Daddy down, Disney Next

4 pointstalkingtab3 comments

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.

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.
