@HardwareGeek said in Copydumb: @CodeJunkie said in Copydumb: Nothing is stopping you from creating your own original works. Except Disney suing you anyway, even if they don't have a valid copyright/trademark claim, because they have lawyers and can outspend you a billion to one. Even if you'd win the suit, you can't afford to defend yourself. At least in the UK, there are new theatrical productions of Aladdin every year (well, perhaps not in the coming 12 months, but for reasons nothing to do with Disney). For Disney to bring a suit at all against any one of them, they'd need to bring strong evidence that there was a problem even to get past the initial check of the case (i.e., the court's decision of whether there is a case to be answered).
