Not sure that's how that works
My favorite Star Wars memory would have to be the time Disney tried to lay legal claim to every tweet on Twitter that used a particular hashtag. #MayThe4th pic.twitter.com/7fDB3LKUlw

Actually you owe us money this time
lol nice try, bad lawyers.#MayThe4th
By sharing anything with me on Twitter, Disney agrees that they owe me (I'll be modest) ten million US dollars.

Feel free to use this one
Thank you for yet another example of companies who don't understand how social media works. You, of course, can use this tweet all you want. #MayThe4th

I was born on May 4th - does that mean you technically own my birthday? #MayThe4th

Fun is also Copyright Disney
nothing says fun like asking a person to be bound by a thirteen page legal document for tweeting about laser swordshttps://t.co/AgO5MdML20

Where is the lie
#MayThe4th remind everyone that Disney has effectively destroyed how copyright law should work so they can milk franchises for possibly hundreds of years while creating a scenario where small content creators have their livelihoods threatened for snippets of songs and movies https://t.co/Sk75lAjt0s

The criticisms are valid
this is like everything wrong with disney media in one tweet
what used to be a celebration by fans, for fans, is reduced to a cold, clinical, terms of service agreement https://t.co/LBzNt6ZiZU

They briefly considered it at one point!
Did Disney buy Twitter? You can own hashtags? https://t.co/2GerDnXWJr
