(software and film) They got scared and let them go. The biggest issue to me is will Disney be a silent owner or will they try to censor and stifle creativity in the hopes that companies make "family friendly" entertainment. Anyone remember the years when Blockbuster was making their own film edits of films?

Hopefully Disney will create a separate more mature movie company. They have several that make R rated movies that you would never think were made by Disney. (Miramax, Searchlight etc.) Disney also owns A&E and now Lifetime as well. They are the evil corporation that they were telling you about...
