Mary Hodder at the Berkeley IP weblog points us at Wilful Infringement an ad for a DVD movie "that Disney does NOT want you to watch!" It appears to be a poke at the overbroad nature of copyright laws and the influence large copyright holding companies have in the arena. Lawrence Lessig & Mickey Mouse, amongst others are in it.

Edward Felten doesn't think the SCO claims over Linux are really about problems with open source at all. So maybe my suggestions that Bill and Steve would be please about the spat are overreaching? Ed has a point but I doublt it will stop the case being wielded in the PR battles to come.
