Apparently the mod likes using euphemisms for their extracting wealth from other productive members of society and really dislikes being reminded.

That’s also rent-seeking in the form of copyrights btw, but as far as rent-seeking goes, I agree it’s the least problematic
That’s what Disney does. I wouldn’t exactly call what they do “least problematic”!
Charging customers for content they own the copyright to is definitely the least problematic aspect of Disney. They have many much greater sins to answer for.
Disney, more than any other company, is responsible for the fact that copyright lasts 90 years instead of 20.
Sure, but I still rate the racism, homophobia, animal cruelty, use of sweatshop labour, and Zionism as worse. Copyright laws are unfair to consumers, while the others cause actual harm.
This is very true. They are also not using the copyright to control infrastructure like a software company might.
Would that still qualify if it is a one time purchase vs a subscription model? I can see your reasoning tho
