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? [/QUOTE]Well ole smelly rodent

(Skunk for those that might thunk that was an insult)
We shall see that is what lawyers are for. Until then this is all a bunch of piss'n moun'n. If Moore has Disney Bound, by such a CONTRACT then he should have an easy time in court, and I'd bet he would allready be in court. BUT I haven't heard of any court case, but rather a lot of belly-aching.
Oh by the way how does putting up FINANIAL CAPITAL(Money, Moo-la, Green, Jack) differ from...Oh what was that I wrote... OH yeah Disney BOUGHT AND PAID for the movie. BY your own admittion they paid for it(put up the financial capital).
I wouldn't do work and not get paid, this is the U.S.A. nobody can make you work and not get paid, but you can CHOSE TO DO SO of your own freewill. If you chose to do so don't come crying to me I have little simpathy for fools.
Now lest anyone try to come up with some arguement touting the merit of M.Moore, I don't give a RAT'S REAR END what M. Moore does. This is the U.S.A. he can do what ever his little bleeding heart desires as long as he doesn't break the law.
