Yes, as a matter of fact, Disney Studios  was the single strongest
lobbyist pushing the "Sony suit" through.  It went to the supreme
court and was dismissed.  However, Disney, with it's bevy of lawyers
are now trying to get the Senate do push through a tax on blank
media.  That covers ALL blank (magnetic) media.

Looks like Disney Studios is trying to make all its money off of
lawsuits instead of good animation or moviemaking.

They've forgotten how to make good movies, so now they simply
fund other production companies.
