Starz suez Disney over iTunes movies

We all bemoan the fact that most of the movies in the iTunes Store come from Disney, and its various studios, however, it looks like Starz has real reason to complain. According to this press release Starz, a cable movie channel, had signed two agreements with Disney which give Starz the power to approve of online sales of Disney movies before they happen. Starz has exclusive rights to air Disney movies, and they argue that Disney didn't check with them before agreeing to distribute movies via iTunes, and other online services.

Since His Steveness is the largest Disney shareholder, and the CEO of our favorite fruit company, I bet he is none too pleased with this news.
