I would like to present my thoughts on the matter. These are my opinions and do not represent the opinions of the board of directors in any fashion. The issue here has nothing to do with Disney. Disney's behavior, by itself, is unimportant. After all, Disney is an insignificant player in this industry.
Hacker culture believes in information anarchy.
There's no such thing as proprietary information in the hacker ethic. We all have an obligation to share our information with others. The more extreme hackers believe that, if you won't share your information, then they are justified in taking it from you. Information is property. The most extreme version of this stance, taken by Disney, holds that the only way to be safe is to hold everything as proprietary.
