Stan Lee Media and Disney Battle For Ownership of Marvel Characters

Posted by samzenpus on from the mine-now-I-take-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Stan Lee Media and The Walt Disney Co. have taken their arguments to the U.S. Court of Appeals over who owns the rights (and profits) to Marvel characters. Though Disney bought Marvel in 2009, Stan Lee Media (no longer associated with Stan Lee, himself) still claims copyright of the characters."

    The Marvel characters should be public domain by now right along with Mickey Mouse, etc. The problem is that these greedy Hollywood Jews just can't let anything go and they pretty much control the government, media, and the legal "industry" so they always get their way. As a working man I find it disgusting and I am tired of it.
