Perception changed as info flowed more freely. They’ve been evil quite a long time (at the least the 1970s), our very ridiculous intellectual property laws (mostly copyright but also other facets) are the direct result of Disney lobbying (and directly bribing) US govt lawmakers at multiple levels of govt.
