Disney Pulls a Reverse Santa, Takes Back Christmas Shows From Amazon Customers 418
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 The company went so far as to retroactively withdrawn the shows from Amazon, so that customers who have already paid for them no longer have access.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."

Why not just call this a Grinch move and be done with it?

Because in the end, the Grinch comes to learn the error of his ways and eventually saves Christmas. Somehow, I don't see Disney doing this...
That's because you're thinking old-style Christmas.
This is the new millennium; the Libertarian one.
We only have to save Christmas for the already rich. The rest of us can play with the wrapping paper they toss in the garbage.
