My pub is going to be a movie starFollow

Is it a period era type film or current time frame? I need to know just how disgusted with the director I am.

Thought this was going to be a save The Hobbit pub thread.

Oddly enough, I can see this same sentiment being use in the threads about the torrent sites allowing free downloads of music, movies, and anime....

It's relative. Disney's a huge company, and in all likelihood that letter was sent more or less automatically, without any attention paid to how the images were being used. It probably was never even seen by anyone with the authority to actually allow them to be used--the legal department would have just gone ahead and sent the CaD.

Had it actually been seen by higher-ups, they probably would have said yes. Free publicity with no risk of the images being used to profit someone else? Win, win.

Which also probably helped Mr. Davis say yes. Maybe he is a nice guy and would have said yes anyway--I know nothing about him. But he's in a position to actually handle these events himself, or he has someone else handle it (but that position wouldn't be so alienated).

Why? Because he has less he needs to protect, and fewer instances of abuse he needs to stop.
