Mickey and Me
In order to better understand the project I've made I'm posting this link as a reference. No other company is as notorious as Disney for bringing legal action against those who copyright their material. The linked documentary is one that was made about Jed Horovitz and his legal battle against the company. Also, I found an extensive article discussing the prosecution of the Air Pirates, a group of cartoonists that made alternative comics featuring the beloved mouse in questionable situations.

Piracy or Policy?
I found this great comic strip comparing the pirates of Somalia to the "pirates of Wall Street." I would have just left the post with the image but the blog post in which I found it was very interesting. The author asks (or at least quotes) the question:
"If piracy is a crime when individuals do it, what is it when states do it? Who can deny that America was stolen and swindled from the Indians? Or that millions of people were stolen from Africa to work for them for centuries? Is that piracy-- or just plain policy?"
A comparison that could be applied to the corporations that fight against media piracy don't you think? You can read the whole post (it's not very long) here at The Black Hour.
