I'm oversimplifying, but I'm not "throwing out populist phrases because they sound good."

Be careful not to conflate your reaction and my intention.

I agree that intellectual property needs reform, but that's a separate issue.




No. Intellectual property is the real issue here because this is what allows Disney to do these things.

Whatever your intention you used a populist argument that anti-market people have used for 100s of years, and given that there huge numbers of companies still in existence that argument should have been disqualified by now.

Just stopping a merger does not change the underlying structure and will accomplish little.


I honestly don't care if Disney owns all of media or not. What the market does is little of my concern as long as it doesn't conflict with my own interests.

I assume you're a strong proponent of laissez-faire, then?
