@ellenor2000 YUP :(

The way Amazon and the like categorize us. We're independent contractors.

Any effort to collectively bargain, set prices, etc. can and I'm sure would, be seen as price fixing, which violates anti trust law.

That's why SFWA in the #disneymustpay thing, could only publicly shame and help those affected but couldn't call for a strike or sue on behalf of them, etc.

#notalawyer, so my interpretation might be a bit off, but that's the jist as I understand it.

@k8em0 Has anyone checked how much Disney has contributed to his campaign or supportive PACs?

I'm guessing his definition of cybercrime includes "shared a Disney Plus password without paying".

#DisneyMustPay

A corporation getting what it asked for.

Disney wanted me to define the same password for DisneyPlus and Hulu. They wanted it so much, they locked me out of Hulu on my living room game console.

I've now logged in through web and set a new password.

And since I was forced to login on the web, I cancelled my Hulu subscription.

Thanks, Disney!

LOL, I was hoping they'd learn something from public backlash, but who was I kidding? They really are going through with this shit I guess?

Right before the holidays, timed with a price hike, & on the heels of a mostly-disastrous half-ass try at gender representation in their programming, they suddenly care about gender, but only for this.

Fuckin unbelievable, #Disney really is the worst. Oh and you really should support #DisneyMustPay

The #DisneyMustPay task force (@neilhimself, @tessgerritsen, @TVLeeG, @MaryRobinette, @ChuckWendig) note Disney continues to reissue works by unpaid authors, insisting they aren't owed a penny, nor the courtesy of an accounting or even notice when their work is reissued. 17/

Dear @Disney:

I have been a Star Wars and Marvel fan for decades. But this is rapidly becoming a thing I can no longer support with my money.

Fix this. Now. Stop the bullshit. Pay authors. Honor the contracts.

Pssst if you’re excited about all the cool new Star Wars stuff, let’s keep up the reminders that #DisneyMustPay Alan Dean Foster. Because it’s the right thing to do—and because making sure creatives get paid is a great way to make sure you keep getting new things!

#DearMickey #DisneyMustPay royalties to #AlanDeanFoster.

@WaltDisneyCo@twitter.com argue that they acquired the rights but not the obligations to his novels.

If a publisher can break a contract by selling it to a sibling company, this could affect every writer.

What utter, colossal cunts.
#DisneyMustPay

So Disney has decided they don't have to pay Alan Dean Foster (and who knows how many other authors?) royalties he's owed by contract for books he wrote. This can't be allowed to stand. It sets an awful precedent.
