Marvel to be bought by Disney

Discussing this with my IP Law professor, this may actually be a good thing. When they file the cancellation of contract papers, and if the judge grants the cancellations, the Kirby family can select and choose who retains rights (along with Marvel). This could mean Fox loses X-Men, Fantastic Four, etc, and Sony loses Spidey.

Ooooo, I like this.
 
I think this body of work at marvel was understood as a work for hire concept and that Kirby's not signing a contract is incidental. I believe his intent at that point was a work for hire. When he saw that the characters made a lot of money he refused to sign as contracts post 1976 when work for hire was codified.

Now I demand the Disney Castle be covered with Doom flags and banners. And I want to see Fing Fang Foom attacking it!






I can still do without that Dazzler/Hannah Montana duet though.
