So, how long will it be before Disney's entire legal staff calls up Chris Muir threatening him with everything up to and including crucifixion?
Never mind the fact that based on the Constitution as writted by the Founding Fathers and displayed in Washington D.C. for all to see, the copyrights on the character of Piglet actually expired decades ago.
Will Alito and his fellow conservatives declare Congress' granting of extensions for proftable copyrights in exchange for millions of lobbyist dollars Unconstituional, or is strict-interpretation just a fantasy for getting through confirmation hearings?

It's odd, but when I graduated from College-back in the Jurassic-everone had to pick a motto alongside their photo.
Mine was '90% of everything is crap'!
great minds,etc...

"Strict interpretation" was definitely a fantasy in Eldred v Ashcroft. That's one of the reasons I let my EFF membership run out: in important cases they were hilariously ineffective, and they're prone to blowing all their money on chasing the Bushitler (the suit they just filed) instead of, ya know, actually trying to follow their mission.

It's also possible that Muir got permission. I'm more concerned about the ROP calling for jihad against him than I am about Disney suing him.
