To report this dance studio?

Would I be being unreasonable to report a dance studio to Walt Disney Studios UK as in the past and currently they have /are using various Walt Disney Studios flims as themes for school holiday dance camps and performances and are using songs from the films in performances. They have posted on social media advertising using Disney flims as themes for the dance camps and posting videos of performances to music from Disney films.

You can buy in the script and rights for one off performances, when I worked at a very well knows stage school the franchisees did this all the time for holiday camps, it costs them a fortune but parents and kids love it.
Do you 100% know the school hasn’t bought in rights?

All the dance shows I was in (dance school, college, local am dram group) always had the relevant licenses to perform anything. Including Disney.

You would have made an excellent snitch for the Stasi in East Germany. Lowlife.

Disney Corp are perfectly capable of coming down like a ton of bricks upon people using their imagery without having paid the hefty licensing.

You can buy a license for playing the music, performing versions of films and songs easily enough. That gives you permission to use the imagery for advertising and Disney/the licensing company take a chunk of ticket sales on top of the licensing fees.

So you're just as likely trying to get them into trouble when they have done nothing wrong.

What is your actual anger towards them about?

What did the police say?

Do you have any idea how much these groups have suffered since March, reporting them could mean a huge fine and therefore the end for them - why would you do that?! These groups offer an invaluable service for children of all ages helping with things like confidence building, dealing with issues at home, making friends etc. To report them would make you a horrible person.

I'm not going to report them, my friend was saying they should get reported but I'm not going to.

Your friend is a twat. Does she really have nothing better to occupy her mind with?

Why did you ask if YWBU to repost them then? Bit of a U turn.

Why on earth would you do something like this?

Mind your own bloody business

It’s hurting no one and is letting kids enjoy themselves

Butt the fuck out

My children's holiday club have been selling ' not to be sold separately' crisps, drinks etc at vastly reduced prices. I was also wondering if I should report them?

My2catsarefab · 09/08/2020 15:27

How empty your friend's life must be

You are allowed. There are no rules that you can't ask if someone else is BU Confused
