Lion takes on Mouse in copyright row: "Mr Linda died penniless and was buried without a headstone in 1962 but his descendants, not much better off, hope to earn millions in damages and royalties for a tune so catchy that even those who loathe it hum along...
If they win damages and Disney refuses to pay, Mr Linda's family has the right to sell those trademarks in South Africa, said Dr Dean. 'We're detaining Mickey, Donald and all the others until proper justice is done by the Americans.'"
