Bustin' on the Jesus Freaks...

What if the T-shirts were bought legally then modified by the individuals? A group of women at the church could have gotten together and altered the shirts for the church, it's not hard to do. You can buy the necessary materials in many craft stores. I don't think you can prosecute someone for items they modified after purchase unless the modification is outright slander..

And if they sue kids for drawing a mural, I don't think they'll care about suing a Church.

They'll likely not sue, but send a strongly worded cease and desist letter. Since the church posts its bulletins online, if Disney does respond, it'll likely be a main topic in an upcoming issue.

Manners are an ingrained trait here in the South. As I wouldn't want strangers openly taking pictures of me, so I wouldn't do that to others. This concept of doing unto others how you want done unto you is called the "Golden Rule" and was conceived by some guy named Jesus.

So you won't take pictures of strangers because of your "Southern manners", but you will rat out the same strangers to a multinational corporation in the hopes that said corporation will lower the boom on them for copyright infringement?

I guess "manners" is how they say "cowardice" in the South...

We have many, many, many ways of saying cowardice down here, suh, and they all begin with a smile.....

Where would tolerance for people who have different opinions and beliefs from yours fit in here?

You could've asked.
"Excuse me, Ma'am, I just love your shirt, may I take a picture?"

Wiggy oughtta try it out sometime. Too bad he's stuck in a morass of moral relativism, where it's OK to steal for Jesus, even though Jesus believed that thou should not steal.

johnT, bigot, why don't you call religion backwards supernatural bull**** again? if you're this concerned about a hodge-podge T-Shirt you saw at Chili's, I'm surprised you let your daughter leave the house.

I did have my camera phone with me, but since we were literally one table away it would've been difficult for me to surreptitiously take their picture, especially as the stupid thing is programmed to alway use the flash.

You need one of those button cameras for your brownshirt.

Nothing will happen because of this. Disney isn't going to sue someone for giving them free advertising, nor are they going to take on that bad publicity by suing a Church.

Disney lives and dies by copyright.

Why would you care about being able to take the picture in secret? Are you really that scared of a couple of church-group ladies?

what he is really cursing is his inability to take upskirt pics

I think that this is an excellent use of time. While he may be standing up for the big guy, then I find it unlikely that a court would award Disney all of the legal costs anyway, so they're still having to shell out on lawyers' fees.
Helping lawyers too! I'm not surprised Lefty applauds your work.

This is the sort of thing Supercitizen would be doing if he wasn't so busy urinating in his neighbour's garden.

I'll save him the trouble: Religion = Backwards, supernatural bull****.* If you're this concerned about defending copyright infringment, I'm suprised they let you use a computer at your mental institute.
