Deadmau5 Fires Back At Disney

(Radio.com) In an interesting turn of events, after Disney filed to block Deadmau5's mouse head trademark, the producer has now sent Disney a cease and desist for allegedly using his music without his consent.

According to Joel Zimmerman, the man behind the mouse mask, Disney used his song "Ghosts 'n' Stuff" in a cartoon video. Zimmerman said he never signed off on the soundtrack and filed a cease and desist - an especially bold move to make when these types of incidents often result in lawsuits and, in some cases get settled out of court, not ceases and desists.

Zimmerman didn't hold back his feelings about Disney on Twitter, where he posted a copy of the cease and desist along with the tweets "oh, @disney just in case you dom't check your email, ill just leave this here" and "�@disney sorry heres the second page! Have a magical f--g day!" He also fired out "lets test a theory, it takes em 10 years to oppose a trademark, lets see how long it takes em to take down a video" and "I wish disney wasnt such a 'corperation'. We could have done great things together."

Disney has since removed the video in question and is remaining silent. Read more details here.
