The United States announced Monday it would file a case at the World Trade Organization over rampant copyright piracy in China, a practice which US companies say deprives them of billions of dollars each year.
But 31-year-old housewife Zhang Li betrays a typical Chinese attitude on the issue while chasing her young son around the park.
“I don’t understand why that is such a big problem. Shouldn’t others be able to use those characters besides [Disney]?” she asks.
So there you have it- the Napster/BitTorrent generation now officially have their own country.

I hope Disney is able to take some kind of legal action on that TV channel or whoever backs it up, that's probably the most disturbing and disgusting act of manipulation I've ever seen.

Actually, I heard it was back on again.
If Disney still had some gumption, it would immediately commission a cartoon where the rest of the Disney characters stage a daring rescue of Mickey and deprogram him of Islamist propaganda. If they really wanted to have fun, they could show the WWII characters they created for military aircraft coming to life to do "what is necessary."
