WASHINGTON (AP) - Media company Walt Disney Co. spent $2.14 million in the first half of 2007 to lobby the federal government, according to a disclosure form.

The company lobbied on issues related to digital television, patent reform, copyright protection, government spending on homeland security, online child safety, the safety of amusement park rides, and trade with China, according to the form posted online Aug. 14 by the Senate's public records office.

The Burbank, Calif.-based company lobbied Congress, the Federal Communications Commission, the Patent & Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and the Departments of Homeland Security and State.
Under a federal law enacted in 1995, lobbyists are required to disclose activities that could influence members of the executive and legislative branches. They must register with Congress within 45 days of being hired or engaging in lobbying.
