To Bob Iger

We're not being anti-competitive.
You are, you selfish piece of shit.
Disney's empire is based on buying up old IP and making films.
Ours is based on the same thing, but it's cooperative.
Somehow, I doubt that Disney or Netflix has penetrated much of our potential market, which includes non-Anglophone nations and schools/GLAM. -
Working For Each Other did well in 200 countries.
We're simply walking away with IP that you lease without owning.
You don't own The Simpsons or Get Back or The Eras Tour.

To the UK Government: Their films aren't that big a deal.
If The Beatles aren't keen, why not ask the Rolling Stones?
What about The Who? They defined the Sixties as well.
What about Bowie? Their songs are still hits.
Paul's dead, so I'm not a terrorist.
Treating me as an enemy is why I'm not travelling to visit.
All the clandestine stuff is mostly declassified. It wasn't illegal.

You all need to meet me in NZ or quit bullying me.
I don't need an opportunity to be a second-rate McCartney.
I'm already a first-rate Michelina.
That reference is probably too cultured for you pricks... - Netflix is much larger than Disney; they aren't giving us grief.
I think that suggests what's really at stake is something else.
The UK Government hates Paul for being a stubborn leftist for decades.
They wanted to trash his legacy while investing in a big company.
Disney's tried and failed to take over UK media in a general sense. Paul's been beefing with them since the 1960's. Zootopia was obviously a riff on High In The Clouds. - Disney and Netflix both claim over 200 million subscribers.
There's over 6 billion people with Internet.
Around 3 billion of them have streaming subscriptions.
Combined, Disney and Netflix represent a quarter of the streaming market.
There's lots more fish in the sea. Working For Each Other tapped those.
Our launch is more cautious. We're expecting a few million subscribers. By 2030, that number might be much larger, depending on the success of the launch.
