The person who has to fix these robots is going to earn way more than minimum wage.

Have you looked at new "laptops" in the $300 price range? Most of those are actually Chromebooks, which to me are as limited as tablets. While it's possible to find a deal on a decent used/refurbished laptop for that price, expect to spend at least double if you want brand new.

You do realize that the legal department for Disney (like most big corporations) are probably salaried employees of the company and not an outside legal firm, right?

It won't cost Disney anything more than their legal budget to take this & other similar actions.
