What the f**k is wrong with them? They're just starting up trouble with everyone left and right. First was that whole fiasco with the book publishers, then with Warner, and now with Disney?
A bunch of bloody rich billionaires acting like toddlers is what it is.

LeLand: They're not really rich, by most internet company standards, but they do treat their warehouse employees terribly. So I hope the money Amazon shakes down from these studios actually goes back to the people forced to work in conditions as terrible as a lack of ventilation.

Yeah I heard about this on the news early today. What the hel is up with Amazon, they're acting like dicks.

Amazon's trying to prove they're the big dog on the block. I don't suspect Disney is going to blink first though.

Warner Bros was resolved. Expect resolution on Disney too not too long.

At the very least, Amazon's behavior isn't winning them any PR battles. I'm guessing they're still pulling this stunt because it works, but the Disney empire is about the worst opponent they could pick. This will be quite the interesting case of brinkmanship.

I for one am hoping that Disney tears them a new one.
Also, it is amusing to see the "Big Evil" Disney cast as the good guy in most of these comments.

Amazon's the one acting like a dick in the public eye, even if Disney's in the wrong behind the scenes.

Funny thing, for a big company, Amazon's profit margin is surprisingly small. Heck, Macy's made nearly three times as much of a profit as Amazon.com did for the 2013 fiscal year ($730m vs. $274m), if Wikipedia is anything to go by (because I don't have the time to get a better source at the moment; I'll probably update this with a better one later). Plus, Amazon.com acutally ran a loss in 2012.

Darn it Amazon, Disney is the last group that you would want to piss off! Grow up here because you will lose a lot of profit if you exclude them!
