    okay people, i had stayed out of this thread for awhile because of
    where i live and my intense dislike for its heavy handed practices
    toward print and broadcast news reporting agencies (newspapers,
    radio and television) threatening to pull all advertising from any
    who report about kidnapped children and/or the people mugged, maimed
    or murdered in or around its domain. 

    here's a good reason for not even thinking about reproducing
    anything that could be remotely construed as similar to a disney
    design: w.e.d. will attempt to rip out both your ankles and your
    kneecaps through your ears in order to leave you without a leg to
    stand on in court. personal knowledge first hand case: my partner's
    parents started an rv park not far from disney (initial outlay about
    $250,000.00) they named after his mother's favorite fairy tale,
    'snow white', from her, and my partner's, native germany. disney
    pounced with a suit. the parents answered in disbelief because the
    fairy tale had been in the public domain in germany and the world
    for eons. disney got nastier. more disbelief from parents who
    countered that it was not disney's right to have proprietary
    ownership of any part of another country's literary heritage. bottom
    line: disney lost the suit - the only loss i've heard about. so.....
    unless you have an equally strong case - leave disney designs alone. 

ive - 
who has watched disney ruin her home town.
