The Happiest place in Jersey-Kai
As an apologetic Disney Apologist, and a IP/?/© student I am absolutely enthralled by this picture tour of a Bangkok theme park I have renamed InfringementLand.
The similarities are defiantly there, but even under US law (the letter, certainly not the spirit or the enforcement) this is not as illegal as it appears. For example, a sleeping beauty castle at the center of the park is very evocative, but conceptually it is all from the public domain story, not the protected Disney movie (well, the carriage clearly is from the movie, but because you’re theirs, they walk the line). Isn’t “ADVENTURELAND” about the most generic name imaginable for Adventureland? Yet there is a ton of secondary meaning.
And of course, even amongst all of the (near)infringement you have Pepsico shoving in a KFC. SUGH.
