    You wrote some fuckery to reword “…they HAVE to sue a daycare for using its characters in a mural, they HAVE to in order to keep their other bullshit going.” with more corporate sympathy.

    Fuck Disney, fuck you, and fuck copyright law.

    It should be rewritten, and culture should be allowed to function normally again.

      C’mon we are better than this here. Firstly be friendlier. Secondly they just tried to explain why, given the current legal system, sometimes a company has to do stuff that at first glance seems like a bad business decision.

      I agree that the system is flawed, and that IP laws need a big reformation, that’s the case pretty much worldwide I might add. But just describing the status quo is not “corporate sympathy” and attacking people for it is bad manners at least.

      Edit: Also, just for clarification, this whole issue is not copyright but trademark right related, which can be even stranger than copyright laws.

      Let me know if you ever register a trademark. I’ll be delighted to infringe on it day one so you can lose it. After all, according to you, defending it is utter bullshit.
