You've a 6-digit UID and you're just now figuring this out?
(BTW, some of us who don't live in the US might not have heard about this yet. It doesn't seem to have been widely reported elsewhere.)

You're conflating trademarks and copyrights. No-one's disputing Disney's right to hold a *trademark* for the Mickey Mouse character and likeness to use in representing their company and its products.
As for *copyright*, you're asking the wrong question. This is because copyright is not a right, but rather a privilege granted by the State. So the proper question in this case is, "Why should the government continue grant Disney the privilege of copyright on the Steamboat Willie cartoon *indefinitely*?"
Nought better to do

If you were Irish, you'd know that diplomacy is actually the art of telling someone to go to Hell in such as way that he'll be looking forward to the trip.
It could be no more free than the least free place, and quite possibly less free than that, yes.

When actual fucking EDITING commences, I'll consider that worth coming up with the bucks to fly out to Oregon and meet you guys at *Con. Thanks for the invite, though.

If you're going to try to misrepresent people convincingly, you'll need to do it MUCH better than that, Ace.
What is this american obsession with property.
Privacy is someting you can expect, regardless of property. It in fact has nothing to do with property.
Privacy is something you can excpect even in a public place.
Even at the beach. Someone talking a picture of you without permission can not publish that.
Whether you own thy beach or not.
Are you sure about that? We have a local news segment here in silicon valley on channel 4 (nbc?) called people behaving badly, and because he films people in public spaces, he does NOT need you to sign a waiver to use your image on TV, the guy who does the segment held a little ama on the news channel on the weekend where he discussed in length how public pictures are not prohibited by privacy laws.
this included places like crosswalks, front yards, side of the freeway, people in their cars, etc.. i haven't seen any open air place yet that he has had to blur images of people.
you can also toggle the num lock key for the same effect.
Good thing you're a mind-reader, then, since I'm not.
