It's kind of Disney to tell me about another twitter account I should block.

Re: Disney claims anyone using a Twitter hashtag is agreeing to their terms of use
#282At a rummage sale a few years ago, I bought a book published by Disney in the 1960s or 1970s which had instructions on how to make Mickey Mouse puppets. It also said to "have fun" making them. Selling things for a profit is a lot of fun. As far as I'm concerned, I now have a perpetual, transferable license to make and sell Mickey Mouse puppets. I even asked a lawyer.
you do. what you don't have is a license to attach the words "Mickey Mouse" to your product.
Is Mucky Moose already copyrighted? I'm not very good making puppets.

Not if making money is fun for you.
What if you can only have fun making the puppets while simultaneously murdering someone? Following your logic, Disney endorses murder. Complete nonsense.
If there was money in it, Disney would absolutely endorse murder.

#285I’m confused. Isn’t this already true without Disney having to antagonize anyone? Similar to the Instagram/Mashable court case?

Did Twitter put them back to their place or they don't want to lose the ad revenue and let the muggles fight them off?
Nothing's going to come from this, and Twitter doesn't need to care, because the conflict is about Disney using other people's tweets in their own marketing material. Twitter's rights aren't being infringed if Disney does that, because Twitter doesn't own people's tweets. The only way to challenge this is for you to tweet something to Disney that they then use in their marketing material. That allows you to send them…

How do you figure?

haha, this reminds me of those posts you'd see on facebook all the time from uninformed users: """I do not give Facebook or any entities associated with Facebook permission to use my pictures, information, messages or posts, both past and future.

It's kind of funny when it's a big corporation doing it.

By reading the Twitter terms of service.
"You retain your rights to any Content you submit, post or display on or through the Services. What’s yours is yours — you own your Content (and your incorporated audio, photos and videos are considered part of the Content)."
(Twitter certainly isn't unique here, this is the gold standard for user-submitted content. Users always own their content, but grant the service an unlimited royalty-free transferable license to copy, process, display and "perform" the content.)

The good news is that Mickey Mouse is about to be in the in the public domain. You can do whatever you want at that point.
