Hawley to introduce legislation targeting Disney copyright protections


“For years, @Disney has gotten special copyright protections from the federal government — allowing them to charge consumers more. Woke corporations shouldn’t get sweetheart deals. I’ll introduce legislation this week to end their special protections — enough is enough,” the senator wrote.

The Washington Examiner has contacted Hawley’s office for more details about the plan.

The copyright on Disney’s classic Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse, the first iteration of the character, is set to expire at the end of 2023, and Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) recently wrote to Disney CEO Bob Chapek telling him that he and some other GOP lawmakers oppose “further extensions applicable” to the company’s copyrights. Banks argued those should become public domain.

Republicans in both Florida and Washington, D.C., have been upset about Disney’s public lobbying against the Florida legislation, which is called the Parental Rights in Education bill but has been branded the “Don't Say Gay” bill by critics. The legislation bans classroom instruction of sexual orientation and gender identity through the third grade.

Disney has successfully lobbied for copyright extensions in the past. Disney pushed for the Copyright Act of 1976 and then worked to get the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 signed into law. Detractors of the latter bill had branded it the “Mickey Mouse Protection Act.”


This is true. Our copyright laws are flagrantly corrupted by endless extensions to protect Disney profits.

It's not just Trannies and LGBTQ+P:


The core of Disney’s racial program is a series of training modules on “antiracism.” In one module, called “Allyship for Race Consciousness,” the company tells employees that they must “take ownership of educating [themselves] about structural anti-Black racism” and that they should “not rely on [their] Black colleagues to educate [them],” because it is “emotionally taxing.” The United States, the document claims, has a “long history of systemic racism and transphobia” and white employees, in particular, must “work through feelings of guilt, shame, and defensiveness to understand what is beneath them and what needs to be healed.” Disney recommends that employees atone by “challeng[ing] colorblind ideologies and rhetoric” such as “All Lives Matter” and “I don’t see color”; they must “listen with empathy [to] Black colleagues” and must “not question or debate Black colleagues’ lived experience.”

In another module, called “What Can I Do About Racism?,” Disney tells employees that they should reject “equality,” with a focus on “equal treatment and access to opportunities,” and instead strive for “equity,” with a focus on “the equality of outcome.” The training also includes a series of lessons on “implicit biases,” “microaggressions,” and “becoming an antiracist.” The company tells employees that they must “reflect” on America’s “racist infrastructure” and “think carefully about whether or not your wealth, income, treatment by the criminal justice system, employment, access to housing, health care, political power, and education might be different if you were of a different race.”

Keep kids of away from Church too !

CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE & STUDENT MINISTRY: High Risk and Low Barriers

It’s easy to understand why offenders seek access to children where the barriers of protection are lowest. Sadly, this is often the Church, which commonly lacks any real understanding of sexual abuse risk. Further, the Church provides an environment offering forgiveness and welcome, saying “Come as you are” and “No perfect people here,” unintentionally creating easy access to children for offenders.

Now who would have imagined such a thing amongst these fine upstanding Sunday Morning Christians when there is Disney for a target


thats fake news, perpetuated by gays who hate church.

Yep. Same people who want their Globalist / Wokist NGOs tax free but tax Churches.

I put all the DooDah day on ignore, it's just left wing drivel. Public School teachers molest and abuse at a higher rate than Clerics, not including the NASB/NEA Sexual Harassment.

Everything is "fake news" that shines a light on the not so good things swept under the rug in religious institutions

Then again anything that does not shine a positive light or spin on what we believe is "fake news" especially if the news is ugly


fake news, just like Russian collusion, iraq wmds, and all other gay bullshit of the left

Like what? Show examples. Nobody likes to be shown to be wrong, but honestly, they secretly like being corrected. Nobody wants to continue to be wrong when they are.

Show examples.

People are legitimately surprised that the Islamic Middle East would ban a Pixar movie featuring a lesbian kiss 😆

So Disney's new Pixar movie is gay – like, super gay – and people are SHOCKED to find out that Islamic nations don't want to showcase its gayness.

Disney CEO Bob Chapek Gets New Long-Term Contract
https://deadline.com/2022/06/disneys-ceo-bob-chapek-gets-new-long-term-contract-1235053685/

Disney CEO Bob Chapek has gotten a new long-term contract as the board meets this week. Directors voted unanimously to replace his current deal, which expires in February 2023, with a new three-year agreement starting July 1.

“Disney was dealt a tough hand by the pandemic, yet with Bob at the helm, our businesses — from parks to streaming — not only weathered the storm but emerged in a position of strength,” said Susan Arnold, Chairman of the Board. “In this important time of growth and transformation, the Board is committed to keeping Disney on the successful path it is on today, and Bob’s leadership is key to achieving that goal. Bob is the right leader at the right time for The Walt Disney Company, and the Board has full confidence in him and his leadership team,” the board said.

...


Why do they keep him? This worries me, because I would think the board would want to reverse away from wokeness. But extending the ceo's contract signifies they like the current path. Maybe the board just stays the course so long as they keep getting to "inspect special backstage footage of disney child stars"

I've had enough with "Lightyears". I wasn't quite prepared to discuss with kids same-sex marriage on that day, but Disney made that choice for me.
Fuck them.

The shirt is over-the-top:



Because it's common for transsexuals to advertise what they are when they are out shopping. If he wasn't wearing a shirt with these colors on it:



Nobody would have thought anything about it.

Doomcock is still getting told that Chapek, who just got a 3-year renewal, got permission from the Disney Board to do a mass purge after the disappointing Lightyear performance.

They were holding him back from the purge (he already clamped the fuck down on Tweets from the Kreative Klass, and appointed a whip of an old school financial exec - a woman whose name I forgot - in charge of the Movie franchises last year). Now the Board is scared shitless from going from 78% approval to 35% in just months, scared shitless of the blowback both political and customer side (families underperformed with Lightyear and of course Male Fans of Action/Star Wars Franchises are bleeding like a Gaul that just got struck in the Thighs with a Legionary's Gladius), and desperate for money.

Apparently the sticking point is PIXAR, which is based in California and full of LA SJWs, and they were fearful of losing talent. Apparently they didn't want to risk the purge until it was unavoidable.

The Kreative Klass SJWs at Pixar are pushing even more Wokey Dokey and the leak may have been Chapek's 4D Chess to scare the shit out of the Board to get them to back him to the hilt.

Here's Doomcock's sources reporting on this:

https://slaynews.com/news/elon-musk-puts-disney-on-notice-backs-move-to-end-companys-exclusive-rights-to-mickey-mouse-its-time/


Disney could soon lose the exclusive rights the company holds for some of its most famous characters, including the iconic Mouse that serves as the company’s mascot.

Mickey Mouse will eventually enter the public domain in the year 2024, almost 95 years after his creation in October 1928.

The Walt Disney Company has a long history of getting favorable treatment from lawmakers when it comes to copyright law.

But Disney’s recent political attacks mean its support may be coming to an end.

In April, Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis stripped the company of its special self-governing privilages in the state.

The following month, Republican Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) threatened to target Disney’s hold over its copyrights.


Copyrights should last exactly 20 years, just like patents.

Disney has repeatedly corrupted lawmakers just to get its copyright on Micky Mouse extended forever.

I think the majority of Disney subscribers come from free one year subscription attached to other devices.
152   Misc   2022 Aug 18, 5:26pm  

Disney+ is a freebee with the top Verizon unlimited plans.

There's about 100 million customers on Verizon's Unlimited plans.

Disney can report its subscribers, but it is really how many new Unlimited customers Verizon gets. It doesn't really say how much Disney is paying Verizon for these customers.
