I guess Disney has enough money to pursue a suit to determine whether or not their posters are protected by copyright. As long as I can remember, the legal view of it was that because these posters were produced for promotional distribution purposes, anyone had the right to freely use, duplicate and distribute the image on the posters. Disney could be claiming (and I don't know if they are) that their characters are trademark and hence the posters can't be reproduced because it contains their trademark characters. I'd like to read more about the case. IF that's indeed Disney's claim then a decision in this case probably wouldn't effect the other posters reproduced by MovieGoods.

I wondered for years how long Moviegoods could get away with this. I always considered it copyright infringement even though they thought the posters were in the public domain. They have been making money hand over fist for many years. Interesting! Thank's again! --Tom Pennock In a message dated 1/27/2010 3:16:30 P.M.
