Disney Pulls Item Over Possible IP issues

Post by Wizzard419 » Jan Wed 25, 2012 9:23 pm

Looks like Disney's streak of ripping things off has got them some trouble. The shirts released recently have been pulled from the shelves and are selling for a nice markup on ebay.

That's awesome. I never even saw that shirt in the parks.

You know, if it wasn't a Mickey head, I bet they could have claimed artistic license. But since Mickey is a logo and the album cover was commercial, I can see the concern.
No one's gloomy or complaining while the flatware's entertaining.

They do still have some on Ebay for $20. Since I really like Joy Division, I might buy one.

The only two places I will ever need to be are Manhattan and Disney World.
