Honestly I think the only time I've really had a vicarious panic moment for his counsel was in this interview! When he said "Mickey, Steamboat Mickey," bc it is Willy that is for sure out of copyright but the name/image stuff just makes it slightly more annoying to argue. And Disney has been trying, to a debatable extent, to create a new copyright interest in this property (they did a new animated logo with the updated Steamboat character, put a bunch of Steamboat stuff in a video game, etc., ostensibly in honor of the company's 100th anniversary, but I think for bonus IP purposes). There is still a fair use argument; it just struck me that he misspoke here versus on LWT where you know the lawyers vetted it. Regardless, there was a time in life where I really would have enjoyed representing him and the show. I want to hear from the cool nerds who are doing that!
