I thought it was well done. One of the best ainti-beck pieces I have seen. Wish I knew the original. I guess it is ainti-natzi prop judging from the paradfe scene.

It is real risky using Disney's stuff. They are notorious for keeping copyrights alive and suing for even perceived violations.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a Disney production :)

Now that would be a good law school copyright exam. normally parody has even greater leeway than fair use. Lets assume the author of this work got no money for it. It is pretty long, but if it uses clips from any works without reproducing a lot of one work, it is more likely to be allowed. There could be a tort claim like "false light" implying the Disney characters are Beck supporters when they are no such thing.Would someone think this is a real Disney product? I think not it is disclaimed at start and end. It is probably a derivitive work, making a new work out of elements of en existing work. Like if I wrote Star Trek XXIIV and used all the characters. Without coming to agreement with the creators of ST, I would be infringing. But I'll bet "spaceballs" did not have to pay Lucus a cent, parody. Lots of leeway for that.

I really HATE Disney. Whenever Mickey Mouse bumps up against the time limit for copyright, Disney gets its DC operation working and extends the term of copyright. The duration of modern copyright is basically the time since Walt created Micky to now, and it will be forever. I don;t care about they grasping the small value of their small character, but hundreds of thousands of other works that would otherwise go into the public domain and be available to everyone at less cost are also protected like Mickey. going into the public domain was an important part of copyright - protection for your works so you get rewarded, public domain after a term so the public benefits. Real public benefit - not this elites doing things and taking things in the name of the public. Public domain works are available to the public to use not elites in the name of the public.

On the other hand if a person creates something, what right does the public have to benefit from the creation of that device or machine-ever?
It is particularly irksome when comparing patent rights with copyright laws; 16 years for a good and useful device or machine vs 70 years past the death of the creator of a song?

Disney (or Lucas) isn't going to sue over a parody that doesn't cut into their sales, but only adds to their popularity. For instance...
But it's true about the copyright extensions. A balance has to be struck between a creator having exclusive right to their work, and the public benefit from making it freely available. The copyright law as originally written was good. Unfortunately, Congress has been lobbied into creating a de facto infinite copyright. -
