Holy shit I hope precedent gets set for this being ridiculous

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.
