Disney Pulls a Reverse Santa, Takes Back Christmas Shows From Amazon Customers

Sockatume writes "Since 2011, Amazon Instant Video has sold a series of Christmas shorts from Disney called 'Prep and Landing'. Unfortunately this holiday season, Disney has had a change of heart and has decided to make the shorts exclusive to its own channels. The company went so far as to retroactively withdrawn the shows from Amazon, so that customers who have already paid for them no longer have access. Apparently this reverse-Santa ability is a feature Amazon provides all publishers, and customers have little recourse but to go cap-in-hand to a Disney outlet and pay for the shows again."

    You're an ass, and likely a wannabe tyrant. And BTW, Re: your sig, "regulated" in 18th century American English meant "well ordered." Furthermore if you bothered to read the Militia Act of 1792, signed into law by George Washington, you'd know that the militia was to consist of everybody who could vote under the age of 45. Gun ownership was mandatory for this group, not owning a gun was, in fact, a crime. Lastly, the 'keep and bear arms clause' is NOT dependent on the 'militia clause,' even if it weren't obvious from the legal and social framework of the time that the whole electorate was the militia anyway.
