      I refuse to believe they are not bribing judges and lawmakers. Its not possible that Disney is doing this without doing anything illegal.

        They might be doing that… but not possible? Come on dude. That’s just a failure of imagination. There are plenty of legal ways to corrupt the government. Lobbying is the most common one, and very legal. Insisting that they’re committing crimes without any evidence of it is just silly.
