Then why doesn't YoWorld release a Disney Theme with things like the Dress from frozen, maybe some other items from other Disney movies?

Copyright infringement, perhaps.

They can't call copyright if the full song isn't on there and if the items arent directly the same, but having similar textures.

It's called "copyright infringement" and lawyers are expensive ;)

I'm guessing because of copyright this was discussed yesterday anyway

Sooz, like I said if they are switched around a bit they can't do anything about it.

I can guarantee Disney's well paid lawyers won't see it that way ;)
Enough "close enoughs" is enough to type up a cease and desist and file a claim.
Not worth the aggravation for BVG IMHO.

So you're basically saying... Since Microsoft created Windows, if Disney was to make Windows for a PC in a different form, they would be sued?

That's what I've been trying to tell people. :lol: What is so special about Frozen? It's a really bad movie and it's annoying. Other Disney movies deserve love to.

If BVG gets done for copyrighting then they got more money to payout then! So they can do the theme but cant copy the items fully!

They have to be very careful on what they do.
Frankly this theme is very close to frozen so much so Disney if they wanted could try sue them now.

@DarkMario

Thats what I said basically, they can copy the items but make the textures a bit different then Disney's actual texture.

Yep. Disney has nothing to lose. Their lawyers are overpaid and looking for something to occupy their time with. ;)

:roll: Disney would most certainly be sued for making "Windows" in a different form. I get your argument, but even changing things up a smidge, like textures, is not enough to avoid a copyright infringement. Disney is one of THE richest companies on the planet and they protect their brand. Do you honestly think BVG is any match for them?

Disney number 17 on the most valuable brands...http://www.forbes.com/companies/walt-disney/
Very few people would stand any chance against Disney.

I agree these items are not close enough to be infringement. Plus they gave them a pretty generic name.
