Good. I don't really care about Mickey, rather everything else.
It's much better if Disney uses the already perpetual nature of trademark rather than continuing to push for distorting copyright.
I don't know that they really would be satisfied with that though, since they have so much under copyright that wouldn't get this kind of trademark treatment.
- humanrebar 9y agoI don't know. If someone wanted to upload a 100-year-old Steam Boat Willie video to YouTube, they shouldn't be sued for describing the video accurately. That is, describing the contents of the video as "Mickey Mouse" is accurate, not unfairly leveraging trademarks to confuse consumers. We shouldn't have to relabel the video Whistle Mouse Drives A Boat.
- jccooper 9y agoTrademark doesn't restrict description. It restricts, well, trade. This thread contains numerous references to Disney, an even more valuable trademark than Mickey Mouse, and there's nary a problem.
