  13. I didn't think you could sue (public domain material) but I hope they
  14. win millions.  Disney nowadays seems to have 100 lawyers and MBA's for
  15. every artist, so I wouldn't mind seeing them lose.

  17. So if an orchestra plays a public domain work, that orchestra owns
  18. that performance?  I'd like to know the laws about that.  Or were the
  19. arrangements of 'Fantasia' music not public domain.
