Morgan & Morgan suing Disney for Steamboat Willie usage in its commercial.

Does anyone think this usage of Steamboat Willie is defamation? The nationally known law firm Morgan & Morgan is trying to use this cartoon as part of its ad campaign. Note that Steamboat Willie is now PUBLIC DOMAIN.

On a side note,if you are not aware of John Morgan's history with Walt Disney World,it is worth reading about.

Long story short,John Morgan's brother Tim was paralyzed while working as a lifeguard at the Polynesian.

John Morgan was appalled at Disney and their response and that experience led him to make PI law his life's work.
