I did some freelance work for a branch of the Disney company about a year ago, and that brief experience left me with the impression that their legal army is vast and humorless. Disney has a history of getting petty with the little guy over copyrights, and had much to do with the passage of the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998. Said act protected against, among other things, Mickey Mouse entering the public domain.
The video seems intent to re-open a fascinating legal debate, all but slapping the giant corporation in the face and daring them to bring it to the Supreme Court. By all means, watch this video now, before I get hit with a cease and desist.
(P.S. Go Card!)
