Of course, I don’t think Disney would actually sue. They never do.
Like it was said, virtually 100% of the time it’s a cease and desist letter. Sometimes, the offender takes it down without Disney even lifting a finger.
It’s not THAT big a deal but it is a deal.
Think of it this way.
Put yourself in Willie’s position. I’m sure some of you work for some large or mid sized companies that have twitter accounts.
Now think of FSU, which is a large, state taxpayer funded organization, as basically a large company like the one you work for. Can you imagine you sending out a tweet on your company’s behalf using Disney intellectual property without getting first permission from Disney and your legal department. You wouldn’t do it. You could easily get fired.
Now this is college football, so it’s not a big deal like that would be, but the mouse doesn’t go into the public domain until like 2024, until then, you’re technically supposed to get permission for promotional use....and that was promotional use.
Basically yup to all of this. Thanks for the intelligent discussion.
