Agreed. Also, we (and Disney) have no idea how many of these unauthorized tours actually are poaching customers away from the VIP Tours. People who feel lime they need a tour guide might not know that Disney offers that service. Obviously not everyone can afford that service, but there's a reason why Disney offers it at the price they do. And when Disney is learning of DAS abuse by some of these unauthorized guides then they can't waste time investigating every single one to figure out if they're one of the abusers. It's much quicker and easier to drop the hammer on everyone the catch offering those types of tours, especially since they are breaking Disney's rules either way.
The only issue I have is the way Disney handled it by giving zero notice to these people and then proceeding to ban them from entering the parks but it is totally in their right to do so and I agree that these people shouldn’t be allowed to run a tour inside of any park.
