One of the few funny things that Adam Carolla has ever said is that there’s “fuck you” money and then there’s “fuck me” money. Disney has fuck me money and is willing to get into a war of massive attrition because you’ll bleed out before they do.
Disney tried to sue Paraguay’s Mickey S.R.L. (a food company) over copyright infrigement (their name is mickey and they literally use mickey as their mascot), but Disney lost the lawsuit because Mickey S.R.L. had actually copyrighted their design of mickey during the 1950s and it actually predates Disney’s own copyright of said design. The Supreme Court also argued that Disney had over 40 years to do something about it and did nothing now it was too late to actually do something about it. I think this is one of the rare cases where Disney got fucked and lost a lawsuit.
Not good for Mindjourney. The Mouse has “fuck you” money and lawyers on standby who kill people for less.

Guy they tried to arbitrate out of a settlement when he died because he signed up to Disney Plus comes to mind.
