I don't want my grandkids to end up saluting Baron von Trumpleton.<BR/><BR/>You know, if Disney asked for my advice I'd advise them to settle for damages sought. But that's just me, a lowly first year attorney.<BR/><BR/>Disney, of course, only wants to protect its own copyrights. Fortunately for Disney, trademarks already last into perpetuity so there was no need to string along Cher's ex to get them more protection. I wonder which congressman will be the next Disney bitch, once their copyrights start facing the music again?Law Fairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02590678306595147920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432483.post-1143130790310666172006-03-23T11:19:00.000-05:002006-03-23T11:19:00.000-05:00heck, eisner/disney sued a pre-school for putting ...heck, eisner/disney sued a pre-school for putting up a mural of mickey mouse. but, yeah, you can't say copywrite infringement w/o thinking of disney. <BR/><BR/>funny, since the first mickey mouse cartoon was an obvious rip-off of a buster keaton movie and they made their fortunes off of retellings of public folk/fairy tales.jasdyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492591447246532970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432483.post-1143123310214904662006-03-23T09:15:00.000-05:002006-03-23T09:15:00.000-05:00I dunno.
