Bill Newman is correct here.

You know, there's been, like, half a dozen people on this very echo here who 
have indicated that you are incorrect in your interpretation of the law.  And 
Disney is more than happy to tell you that too.  Why don't you call?  Are you 
*that* afraid to find out that you are wrong?  I have never seen such a 
prideful person in my life as you.  Maybe I should contact the U.S. Supreme 
Court and have one of the judges give you a call.  Would *that* satisfy you? 
Or would you accuse the judge of not knowing what he's talking about because 
he is by definition a constitutional law specialist and not a copyright law 
specialist? I could just see that happening.  What would it TAKE to convince 
you that you are wrong.  Could GOD do it?  Nope, probably not even he.
I think to keep my sanity, I will just ignore any future messages from you on 
this subject.  You have a way to discover for yourself, by calling Disney, 
what the real story is.  If you don't do it, it's your loss.  No one else is 
going to go to sleep tonight with the wrong idea in their head except you.
Now as they said on the X-Files:  "All Done, Bye Bye"...  Or as Disney named 
a movie: Saludos Amigos...
