This is a perfect example of why I can't be a liberal.

Not exactly true. Disney
collaborated on a project with Moore - Disney put up the financial capital - and Moore put up the intellectual capital.
They are *partners*, bound by a CONTRACT. If Disney wants to get out and can find a loophole in the contract that allows them to wash their hands of the project - that's fine but otherwise, they have a legal duty to live up to the promises that they have made.
Moore spent a year making the film and won't see a cent until the film is distributed - how would you feel if you were contracted to work for someone and at the end of the period they refused to allow you to get paid?
