I've heard many horror stores of companies going after anyone infringing
upon their copyrights. Disney is one of the toughest. If grandma make a
Mickey image on baby's bib, don't go to Disney World wearing it.
Bull****.
My wife does machine embroidery and has a collection of thousands of
characters. She is also up on the latest problems with copyright
infringement and knows all the stories, especially of Disney. They have
been verified. I don't really give a crap what you believe, but there have
even been court cases where anything commercial was involved.
You may even be unaware of the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act but
that does not mean it does not exist either. Steamboat Willy lives. Check
the 1999 Eric Eldred filings that have been struck down. The Disney Empire
depends on intellectual property and they defend it vigorously.
