In this episode of UTLRadio, I take a deep dive into Disney’s aggressive approach to protecting its trademarks. From classic characters to theme park names, Disney has a long history of enforcing its intellectual property rights, sometimes in ways that surprise the public. I discuss notable cases where Disney has pursued legal action, including against small businesses, independent creators, and even fan-driven projects.

Additionally, I touch on the world of YouTube content creators who use Disney-related material to generate income. How does fair use apply? Where is the line between homage and infringement? And what risks do creators face when using copyrighted content to build their channels? Whether you are a business owner, a content creator, or just fascinated by the legal side of entertainment, this episode unpacks the strategies behind Disney’s trademark enforcement and what it means for those in the creative space.

🎙️ UTLRadio Presents: Pop Culture Court – Spider-Man vs. J. Jonah Jameson: Is the Daily Bugle Guilty of Defamation?

📢 EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it! The Daily Bugle has been running headlines for years: “Spider-Man: Menace or Criminal?” J. Jonah Jameson has made it his life’s work to take down the wall-crawler, but has he crossed the legal line?

In this special episode of Pop Culture Court, we put Jameson on trial for defamation, with Spider-Man as the plaintiff. Can a superhero sue a newspaper for ruining his reputation? Or does the First Amendment give Jameson the right to call Spidey whatever he wants?

We will present both sides of the case—analyzing whether Spider-Man, as a masked vigilante, could win in court and whether Peter Parker, the man behind the mask, has a better shot. We will compare this fictional battle to real-world defamation lawsuits, including Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard, and see if Spider-Man stands a chance.

But here is the twist—you, the listener, are the jury. By the end of this episode, it is up to you to decide: 🕷️ Is Spider-Man the victim of a smear campaign? 📰 Or is J. Jonah Jameson just doing his job as a fearless journalist?

Court is now in session—tune in and render your verdict on this episode of Pop Culture Court!

🎧 LISTEN NOW – and make your ruling!
