The Wonderful World of Disney
Congratulations to Daniel Finkelstein for his defense of a brilliant but smeared entrepreneur, Walt Disney. Finkelstein also shows a rare understanding and appreciation of an economic hero. As the London Times sums up his article, "As the cartoon rodent reaches 80, we should celebrate his creator - a genius and one of the best arguments for capitalism."

It's a shame that, at least in more contemporary times, Disney has been terrible when it comes to IP and has helped to extend copyright laws.

Try to imagine a 'Mickey Mouse' that would originate from an icon of the State!
Colorful? No.
Unique? No.
Pursuing happiness? No.
It is safe to say that the more oppressive the State the less of these beautiful characteristics will those trying to exercise their inherent entrepreneurial spirit be able to express.
The unConstitutional coup is continually invading more and more of our liberties. Are we going to sit and watch them destroy what is colorful and unique? To protect our pursuit of happiness we need to expose the members of the inner circle of the unConstiutional coup and let them taste the wrath of the millions around the world who have been victimized by them.

There is no such newspaper as the London Times. The name of the Times newspaper that is published in London is just the Times - only later imitators like the Irish Times, the Times of India or the New York Times have a place name qualifier.
