It has always amused me that they had the temerity to imitate on not one but two of the most rottweilerlike companies in the world in defense of their corporate identities.

Well, I’m going on a tangent in this zombie, about Disney. I used to decorate cakes at Wal-Mart, and we dreaded it each time a new Disney “princess” movie came out. Getting the authorized stencils or topping toys lagged behind the opening of the film. _Ring, ring!_ “Hello, Wal-Mart bakery, how may I help you?” “I’d like to order a cake for my daughter’s birthday with Ariel on it.” “I’m sorry, ma’am, but we haven’t got the Disney decorations yet, so we can’t make Ariel” “Can’t you just draw her freehand?” “Sorry, no. We’d be in violation of copyright, and Disney is very protective.” “I won’t tell anyone!” “We still can’t chance it. We can do mermaids. We could even do red-headed mermaids, but we just can’t make them recognizably Ariel.” “But that’s what my daughter wants!!!” “I’m very sorry, but…” “You are spoiling her birthday, you realize that don’t you?” _facepalm_ ---

A short session with Google reveals that [McBrats wins in IP lawyer vs Maccas case](http://www.lawyersweekly.com.au/news/1485-mcbrats-wins-in-ip-lawyer-vs-maccas-case) so I guess that constitutes a happy result for the OP. ---
