As someone else pointed out, if that happens we can force them into arbitrage on copyright issues. I’m opening Disney World 2.0.

Arbitration. "Arbitrage" is when you buy something (such as a currency) and then immediately exchange it for a profit due to a discrepancy in rates.

Thanks for the correction. I'll leave my mistake to preserve continuity.

fwiw Wiktionary lists a second definition:

(archaic) Arbitration.

Dunno just how archaic that is, and perhaps if it's more archaic in some dialects than others.
