Disney - How Likely Am I To Get Sued lol?

[LaceyRoyce]

So, I have a custom video that involved a "movie night" GFE POV type of deal where I put on a specific disney movie, and then seduce the POV and you know.. hanky panky.

The Disney logo is clearly visible in the beginning of the movie, and then you see some of the movie behind me on the TV.

If I release this, and Disney sees it and decides to come for me, is it most likely to be Disney sending a DMCA and me removing the content? Or am I at *real* risk of Disney suing me for more.

I'm a small fry with no major assets so they wouldn't get much out of a law suit.



The only reason I'm considering releasing it is I have a huge niche following in this specific video and I know it'll sell like hotcakes. I'm not afraid of a take down notice.. If it gets removed, it gets removed. But I am scared of being taken to court.

Not sure of the answer to your question but have a curiosity: could you slightly blur that part of the video so it's still possible to know what it is but it isn't crystal clear?

Mayyybe? Bit of a pain but I could. I do wonder if it would hurt sales since the movie is the scene from the jungle book where Kaa the snake is in it, and it's for people who fetishize being hypnotized by kaa. But that's one possibility I guess.

Most of my fanbase for this is on Fansly so I've posted a screenshot to gauge interest, It might be something where I just kind of talk about it there and do direct sales with dropbox links.

They will most likely start with a cease and desist notice or might ask whichever site to remove the content without contacting you. If there's a lot of auto tweets on your twitter about that particular video selling then they may try and get some money out of you but it's unlikely unless you put it back up after it gets taken down or you continue selling it after the cease and desist.

Companies do send out cease and desists through twitter dm's, email and platform messages (I had a random DM a few years ago from santa cruz skateboards with a cease and desist for an image I had used (which I had purchased a license to but apparently the site that I got the licensed image from didnt have a license for the image to start with ).

Generally though lawsuit is a final step not the first one (unless they think you are making bank, as in more than it would cost them to sue).

I really wouldn't mess with the House of Mouse. They can make your life a living hell. That said, there are a lot of Halloween props where you could recreate the same scene, it's not like snake hypno is exclusive to Disney and that scene. When I worked for a top 10 haunted house I was a snake lady dressed in a tube top and air brushed make up and essentially did the same thing to make people buy tickets to all three haunted houses offered. You could have someone air brush you to look like the snake and then hypno them straight out. (I think that would not be against the rules)

When I asked MV Support about songs a few years ago, they said the worst that happens w copyright music is they get a notice to take it down. I asked if any artist had ever gone further than that, and tried to sue, and they said never. They said even a copy right cease and desist is super rare in amateur porn. I feel like this would be the same.

For any part of your video that contains sights or sounds from the movie (including preview images), the less discoverable it is, the better.

If those parts of the video are part of a video preview or a thumbnail image someone could view before making a purchase, then I might worry about automated software finding it. Sort of how sites like YouTube or Instagram can auto-detect certain copyright material and strip out the audio, or request a takedown.

I don’t know how sophisticated those things are or whether they’d crawl Fansly, but if anyone has the most powerful tech for weeding out infringers, it’s probably Disney.

KingMarti is right. Procedures by Disney start with sending a DCMA notise sent to the content hosting provider to remove the content. Their legal department may send a formal a cease-and-desist letter to you. That's it, unless there are unusual circumstances, (Further measures are taken if seeking damages and/or against continued willful infringement.)
