Superboy in court

Filed under: Entertainment,Intellectual Property — bblackmoor @ 11:21

The Legion Omnicom has a really great description of the legal tussle over Superboy, with lots of links and really tight commentary by knowledgable people. So go read that: I won’t waste your time by trying to summarize it here (any more than I just did, anyway).

Of course, if Disney hadn’t kept bribing lobbying Congress into extending copyright protection ad infinitum, this whole thing would be a non-issue. (Because it would be a trademark issue instead, and trademarks never expire. Yeah, that’s a mess, too….)
