This is an objectively wrong post and you should feel bad for posting shit like this

I think people who say "it's hard to feel sympathy for a millionaire so who cares" are also wrong

She is completely in the right to pursue this. She had an agreement in good faith on sharing revenue, and Disney is intentionally squirming around it, in a way that is both morally wrong and, luckily for ScarJo, legally wrong. Even if you don't think it matters if ScarJo gets her payout or not, it's objectively good if she establishes precedent that companies like Disney can't screw people over by moving revenue to streaming services so they don't have to respect the contract

it's not that different from how Disney is dodging paying royalties to writers and other creators that are due royalties from Star Wars and properties in the Fox takeover. they just aren't honouring any of those contracts "because they didn't sign them" even though they acquired the property and are legally required to honour them. but since most of those creators, they don't really have a shot at fighting it. there's couple big creators that actually are fighting it and all the smaller ones will live or die based on how that goes.
This is nice to think she's doing something noble by stopping Disney.

But she isn't. She's going to settle for a fat check out of court and this will get dismissed before they can legally tell Disney "Nah you can't do this." It's ScarJo though, so she's in a very rare number of folks who can actually take them to task. But to think she's going to ensure nobody else gets screwed by this is wild.
