One late night radio talk show I listened to called Walt Disney World "the evil empire"

Section42L

Given that they're ultimately responsible for literally everything wrong with IP law today, I'd say foe.

What AU said. Monsanto is just as responsible and probably more morally corrupt, although both are pretty bad.

That likely wouldn't have been possible without the avalanche of concessions Disney extracted over the decades, which make patenting seeds seem relatively tame by comparison.

Section42L

Did Disney have anything to do with the 1976 Act?

That was the beginning of all that nonsense.
