So what's the basis of the lawsuit against Disney? There's no damages, so equitable relief? Of what?
They want to use footage from Steamboat Willie and do not want to be sued for breach of copyright. Although this fell out of copyright last year and entered public domain the Mouse is sufficiently litigious that they have a fear that they might be sued -- a reasonable fear IMHO. Thus the request for clarification which Disney would not give. Thus going to court is their only option.
That Disney refused to answer suggests to me that they know that they would lose any attempt to sue for breach of copyright but they are going to make it as hard & expensive as possible for anyone to use Steamboat Willie -- typical large corporation behaviour (that of a bully).
Makes you wonder why a supposed lawyer would ask such a stupid question.
It is called a letter before action. The courts like it if you have tried to come to an agreement before going to court and, potentially, wasting their time on something that did not need to be litigated.
but give the guy a break. This is hardly the first new product demo to have failed. Maybe they should have had the foresight to run it over a private network and not the center's WiFi, but knowing what will happen in the real world is very hard to get right.
I have never used an AI to write code. The code that I write I understand and am able to document.
shut down their nuclear power plants before the end of their originally planned decommission date.
The shut down their plants as a result of the scare of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident, this is now seen as a mistake but at the time the big worry was escaping radiation.
please continue to reduce use of coal in spite of some other countries trying to burn more. Future generations will thank you.
