Yes but legally speaking, it doesn't matter who HAD an idea first, it matters who bothered to copyright it first. Real copyright, not poor man's.

Re: Disney Legal
This is true, that is the one with legal standing, but if no one's done that yet a poor man's will be fine. I don't think anyone would be silly enough to try to put something with no legal standing against something with legal standing, that's like putting a car up against a train.Mayonnaise wrote:Yes but legally speaking, it doesn't matter who HAD an idea first, it matters who bothered to copyright it first.

Re: Disney Legal
An electronic copyright can be filed at http://www.copyright.gov/ for $35. Seems like pretty cheap insurance.
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.
