No article or anything elaborating further on it -I'll update the OP as necessary- but there ya have it.

You can imagine the replies to that. Take a gander.

Here's the hashtag: https://twitter.com/hashtag/MayThe4th?src=hashtag_click

At this rate it won't be long before breathing outside air is legally binding acceptance of the AirPlus Membership Subscription terms of service, under which the blood of your first born is automatically forfeit as taxes paid to our corporate overlords.

You'd be amazed how cheaply these morons can be bought. Give Mitch McConnell half of a stale bagel and your ex girlfriend's phone number and you will be able to charge money for oxygen

I think people are misreading this.

It's a shitty fan submission contest and by @-ing Disney's account with that hashtag you are entering their contest and you are granting Disney the right to use your tweet in some promotional fuckery if they choose to, and basically they ain't got to pay you shit. I guess just because of how low-effort a tweet is compared to sending in a picture to a magazine, or a letter-to-the-editor to a newspaper people don't think there's any intellectual property issues there. Just because there is very little intelligence on twitter doesn't mean there couldn't be rights issues.

So it's just another instance of a boomer not knowing/understanding how the Internet works in that you can't tell it what to do without finding yourself flooded with dick pics.

This should be interesting.

EDIT: First image is of a soyboy Star Wars fanboy whose picture here is much more unflattering than he normally looks (not much different).

As anti-Semitic Walt allegedly was, I wonder how he'd react to seeing his legacy go full money grubbing Joo

I guaren-damn-tee you he rolling in his grave so much, he's dug himself deeper into the earth's core

Between this, and Michael Eisner turning everything he got involved with to shit in the 80s/90s, Walt would have eventually died from a stroke or heart attack from being enraged at all the bad decisions going on if he was still alive. If the aneurysm didn't kill him, he would have fired all of them and tried to hold onto his values as much as possible.

"The Mouse go full boomer".

Maybe the Mouse go full Karen as well.

Walt was never anti-semitic. He had no problem hiring jews and the rumors of him being pro-nazi/anti-semitic were started by the commies. A group he actually hated with a burning passion.

Walt was never anti-semitic. He had no problem hiring one of Trump's Chosen Peoples and the rumors of him being pro-nazi/anti-semitic were started by the commies. A group he actually hated with a burning passion.

Walt was always at odds with the elites of Hollywood who were mostly Jewish. The Warner Bros for example one of his greatest rivals were Jewish.


Also didnt ex Nazi scientists from Operation Paperclip, help Walt build and design some parts of the park too?

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

Man, fuck outta here with that bullshit. You can't copyright a hashtag.

Indeed.
Disney need to go fuck itself in the biggest way possible.

 

[derpherp2]

I mean have fun enforcing that ToS when people can quite literally say they never saw it when they used the trending topic, and you'll have no proof to show they did.

 

[Ahriman]

Let it be known that I hate furries and deserve the rope.

Having said that, that's brilliant.

 

[Lards and Lasses]

What's really retarded is that I'm pretty sure the twitter ToS already does this for you. Basically anything posted to twitter is adjacent to public domain, if I understand correctly.

Vitamin C #MayThe4th 2nd May danfo. Makes sense.

Going to hope this last one is a joke.

Man, fuck outta here with that bullshit. You can't copyright a hashtag.

They aren't saying that. They're saying if you reply to them or tag them with the answers and the hashtag, they could use your tweet in their own media content, as is a "look at what fans are saying!" video.

Honestly, I see no problem with this. They are warning people they will use what you will willingly share with them. If you don't like it, don't share it and don't tag them. What's the big deal? If they had use the tweets without warning, they'd be complaining about how they didn't warn them.

ETA: the autists saying "Disney now owns this" without even tag them are top notch retardation, lol

 

[CDWLTY]

It's just the result of some inept, internet-illiterate dummie in charge that thought they could do that and expect people to abide by it. It reeks of dumbshit, karen, midlevel managers that they think they can toss legalese into the ether with any hope of compliance. Anyone in the 'biz knows it's all under twitter's TOS which would work just fine, it's a public forum anyway.
These are the things ya love getting into at work, when you can tell the owner not to do something, and they tell you you're a stupid kid, that they've been in this business for XXYY years and how dare you..... then it causes a huge headache, and their inbox is crammed with dick picks and odd erotica, and you can charge the emergency rate PLUS overtime for the fixin's.

iirc the Sherman Brothers, like, one of the big music minds for him, were both That Sort Of People
I get the impression that he didn't have an issue with jews in principle, but a number of his adversaries happened to be them.
And good ol' Werhner Braun was America's favorite nazi

He'd be all for it, he held consumers and working people in the usual MovieBob self-declared visionary's contempt. Replaceable cogs at best, meatbags with no good use at worst.

EPCOT was supposed to be more than a theme park, it was supposed to be the "City of Tomorrow" where you'd live, work and die in a self-contained mini-city where you could take the monorail to and from your worker domicile and the shopping and entertainment districts, never having to expose yourself to the outside world... and all owned by Disney. (That's why the EPCOT globe is a thing, he thought the "modern" city should be a set of spheres-within-spheres... each one serving a singular purpose like an Orwellian Ministry that you'd only have to visit if needed...)

He essentially came up with the idea of the bugpod 50 years before it was cool.

Anything that limits your ability to reject what your benevolent overlord decides to feed you is GOOD to people like him....

At this rate it won't be long before breathing outside air is legally binding acceptance of the AirPlus Membership Subscription terms of service, under which the blood of your first born is automatically forfeit as taxes paid to our corporate overlords.

Anyone who defaults on their Crimson Corporation oxygen payment account gets thrown into the furnace for starship fuel.

Sometimes I wish I was some stupid corporate sheep, at least I'd have a wife then.
