If the lawyers contacted the group explaining the deal and ask to pay a fee for future displays, that would be a human thing to do, threatening with a lawsuit not so much, but I can't find details on that. On the other hand I do agree with Keith that maybe the law is not right and to protective. The only people really benefiting from this are big companies that can afford lawyers... is that a fair thing I wonder?<br /><br />I'm a bit stuck in the middle, we have to have laws and people should obey to the law, I'm sure you Keith agree to that too. But the law should be righteous and not exclude people or exist as a vehicle for big companies, which to me this is what it looks like.<br /><br />-JohanJohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480606894587739162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005242.post-47768261890478051862009-10-02T01:12:41.554-05:002009-10-02T01:12:41.554-05:00I really hate to be the devil's advocate on th...I really hate to be the devil's advocate on this because I usually agree with you, Keith (and have really been enjoying reading what you and Mayerson have been talking about lately, alot of new websites to read.) but aren't home media intended for home viewing or educational use. This was well within the law. The fact that they formed a fan group at a university for non-educational purposes probably put them on the radar. I don't see this as some calculated move by the entire Disney corporation to start squeezing its customers for more money. Probably someone in the company, maybe not even that far up, saw this group existed, and did the simplist thing within their power, which was shut them down. Doesn't matter if they were huge fans, up to that point had spent thousands of dollars on previous Disney merchandise, or if it gets murky on what constitutes a public gathering between 20 and 50 people. And needing to take a break from studies, doesn't entitle you to watch movies. The movie was for private home viewing and their decision to form a large club at a public institution(I think the fact that it was shown at a university was more a legal bases that the number of people) and show a movie in which the DVD label or case clearly states in non-lawyer contract words that it is for home viewing only, violates this. And I am not saying I haven't done similar things in college. I just wouldn't be all that suprised by the potential outcome. Again, I am not trying to be the guy who goes against the grain and causes controversy, just how I percieve the incident.LampshadeManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02581194709626935976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005242.post-21565520782214041712009-10-01T21:49:39.610-05:002009-10-01T21:49:39.610-05:00Well said, Keith!Well said, Keith!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005242.post-63555190718744970712009-10-01T21:33:33.843-05:002009-10-01T21:33:33.843-05:00Seriously, doesn't Disney have bigger fish to ...Seriously, doesn't Disney have bigger fish to fry?<br /><br />The problem with these desist orders, as you said, is that it attacks the fans.
