Disney Asking Employees To Help Fund Copyright Lobbying (arstechnica.com)

NormalVisual writes: Disney is now asking its employees to chip in to promote the company's copyright agenda via the company's political action committee, DisneyPAC. CEO Bob Iger has sent a letter to the company's employees lauding the company's success with the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement and the recent Supreme Court decision regarding the video service Aereo -- an Internet service claiming the right to retransmit [Disney's] broadcast signals without paying copyright or retransmission consent fees. Iger also expresses the company's hope that DisneyPAC will be able to influence Congress in regards to lowering corporate tax rates. Not surprisingly, the company refuses to comment on the initiative.

My wife guilted me into doing it, but I was admittedly confused because no one else had to hold a toaster.

Great. Keep punishing those who create wealth, don't be surprised when they take their wealth elsewhere or stop creating it. All those lowlifers whining how the One Percenters have it so much better than them should get into their substandard brains that without the One Percenters, the 99% would drown.
