Sophie’s business name needed to be unique enough where it doesn’t actually infringe on any of Walt Disney’s intellectual property rights. Even though he name is not exactly “Walt Disney” and the title of her business is “DisneyHartford”, the fact that she still included “Disney” in her title is a problem. When you think of the word “Disney”, you automatically think of children’s entertainment; as a result, this goes to show that consumers typically link the word “Disney” to a specific origin. Since the purpose of her business was to make an entertainment center for children, she is violating their rights because both companies are too similar.

Property refers to tangible and intangible items. Ownership is a concept that means the right to exclude others (pg. 233).

It was her fault that she purchased this property without researching it. Sophia is also at fault for purchasing real property without getting a title that the properly belonged to her. Ownership rights are transferred by titles (pg. 245) Even though the property seemed abandoned; no one technically relinquished new ownership towards it so it still belonged to Goodwin. Sophia got herself involved with a scammer. Sophia should contact Attorney Sleaze and sue him for selling her property that was already owned by somebody else. If she gives back the property to Goodwin, she can also sue him for her money back. She paid $2 million dollars for legal fees so it was his job and responsibility to

The free enterprise system is a part of our everyday lives. Without it we would not have different brands and/or companies. We would not be able to choose where to buy (consumer) and sell (producer) items. The free enterprise system is an economic system in which everyone is allow to participate in the activities of their choice.

The free enterprise system provided Walt Disney with the opportunities to develop his famous and successful brand.
My topic is the colonialism of The Walt Disney Company. When defining colonialism, I will be referring to two general definitions that are applicable to modern day colonialism as seen through cultural appropriation, and cultural commodification of Disney and the tourist industry. Oxford Dictionaries defines colonialism as, “the policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control over another country, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically,” and Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy’s defines colonialism as, “a practice of domination, which involves the subjugation of one people to another.”
