Agreed, but in Disney’s case, they’ve enjoyed tax preference in the state of Florida. To insert themselves into a biased lib agenda criticizing the Florida state legislatures actions and the Governors positions with respect to parents rights? Have they even read the new law? Who the ■■■■ does Disney think spends their money at the Orlando attractions?

I wonder how many Desantis groupies realize if Disney gets stripped of their special status, taxpayers are going to be on the hook for about $2,200 a household?

But they’ll be sticking it to Woke Disney…so it will be worth it.

Not so.

I love it when progs just repeat whatever their libs news source says.

Maybe not but we don’t brag about doing research and anybody that posts on here who don’t are intellectually lazy, then post lib talking points.

You are not wrong. I am guilty of it too

[STODR]

Maybe guilty of talking points (we all are) but I don’t recall you belittling people claiming you are smarter and know more. Having a certain expertise is different.

Respectfully and i really really mean that, have you ever addressed those who never served in the armed forces as lacking expertise to discuss the armed forces.

Again i am not trying to be rude just pointing out a possible parallel

My great hope out of all of this is that it will make it more difficult for Disney to pay off Congress to unjustly enrich that company by extending copyrights even further than they were ever intended.
Probably they will just pay off Congresspersons even more to get that, but at least now there may be a chance.

How is intellectual property unjust enrichment?

They don’t own that intellectual property, or won’t after it runs out in a year or two. They have zero claim to it. If an extension is given, they have gotten valuable property from Congress and done nothing to earn it other than, perhaps, pay off some congressmen.
Unjust enrich,ent.

I think you misunderstood what I meant. Having an expertise and saying you know more is one thing. Not having that expertise but saying I know more because I said so is just being a pompas ass (like I said not you) but to answer the question yes but on things like inner workings that you wouldn’t know if you have never been exposed to it. Not the grand scheme of politics through military ect.

Other than create it though?

Mickey was created in the late 1920s. Copyright laws were to be established, the constitution says, to promote the “useful arts” by securing “for limited times” to authors and inventors the exclusive rights to their works. Obviously the limited times granted by the copyright laws then in existence were sufficient to achieve the purpose for which they were intended. The corporation which now holds those rights has no basis for expecting any further exclusive rights…other than to the extent they are purchased from Congress. They have been motivated to create nothing by this windfall.
Unjust enrichment.
And at the expense of the American people through increased prices.

Constitutional law experts: Disney could ‘absolutely’ sue Florida for...

Desantis…“You’re going to marshal your economic might to attack the parents of my state,” he said. “We view that as a provocation, and we’re going to fight back against that.”

The reversion is not set to take place until June of next year. It will be rescinded before it gets implemented. This is just a performance piece by DeSantis.

IMO it’s a bad precedent to take state action against a corporation for taking a certain ideological or partisan view. Private boycotts, fine, but a state should be neutral.
Not that special benefits should be given to Disney, but they are being removed for the wrong reasons.
This sort of thing can be used both ways.

Do you not understand what Reedy Creek is? Disney has the power of eminent domain.

Do you not understand what “Not that special benefits should be given to Disney” means?

Ah, so revoking special privileges is “state action”.

Whose other action is it? The state gave those privileges and the state is taking them away.
The only issue I see is that this is not happening because all of a sudden it was realized by the governor and legislature that these type of privileges should never have been given and are inherently wrong. They have made it clear that if you speak out against public issues in opposition to the dominant party, there will be a price to pay.

ACTUAL government censorship.
