13:00 Man Vs Art Thanks you for putting MVA on the 1st page of Itunes.

*
14:01 The Corporate corruption of Copyright and rape of the Public Domain. Disney I'm looking at you.

*
18:56 - The inherent weakness of Mickey Mouse as a cartoon character yet as a  Corporate symbol he RULES! It seems like Disney's mission is  to suck all of the money from the parents’ wallets while rendering children compliant, subservient consumers.



*
23:00 The princessization of little girls. Thanks to Disney Princesses all little girls will grow up thinking they are princesses. No skills, ambition or anything.

*
31:55 Disney doesn't care about anything but profit. In 1981 Michael Eisner sent out an office memo that said "1981 staff memo "We have no obligation to make art. We have no obligation to make a statement. To make money is our only objective."  Frozen became the highest grossing animated film of all time with earnings totaling almost a billion dollars. So what did Disney do to reward the awesome crew of talented artists and technicians who made this possible? They laid off more than half of them and gave bonuses only to the few they kept on. The rest were out the door. You would think the laid off people would probably need that bonus money more right? Tough shit says Disney.

* 34:30 It's not a good idea for such a hypocritical  company with such questionable business practices and sneaky maneuvering, who clearly doesn't give a shit to own our most cherished stories and characters and refuse to share them. If they didn't tout themselves as the wholesome , kind,  family values company it wouldn't be so bad.

*
37:15 Disney has  24 access to kids today. Thanks to technology they can exploit their content to create tomorrow's blind idiot consumers. Disney exploits their IP's, artists, audiences,

*
43:45 If you want to play with Star Wars, Marvel , Muppets, you have to play by their rules. The Agenda of the corporation is first. In 10 or 15 years it will be insane. Disney takes from the public Domain and then extend the copyright indefinitely. In a nutshell they are stealing from culture. Our culture.

*
45:39 Mickey mouse is technically public domain. In 1928 Walt did not label Steamboat Willy properly and the statute of limitations had passed. This is why Disney is so adamant about extending the Copyright of Mickey.
