I don't get the mickey mouse copyright law thing. Did Disney just keep lobbying to keep extending copyrights?

Yep, Disney is pretty much responsible for screwing up copyright law, and extending the copyright period for a ridiculous amount of time.

Last year, my sister was outside, recording my nephew, who was barely able to walk, outside. Their giant dog got excited about something or somebody, and basically ran through him, sending my nephew sprawling.

It got some views on Youtube, but barely. I think there were less than 2,000 views, and she was contacted by THREE different unrelated companies about non-exclusive rights to use her clip. One of the companies does like a daily or weekly fail compilation. I think she was offered like $150, $150, $100, but decided not to mess with it. I think the companies were trying to anticipate in case the clip went viral, which it didn't.

But we have no idea how they found out about it.
