The Walt Disney Company, et al. … The case pits an Australian author, Rebecca Lim, and her publisher, Morly Investments Pty Ltd (Imprint: The High Street Publishing Company), against one of the largest media corporations in the world, Disney. It features a dispute over a book publishing contract and allegations that Disney continued authorizing sales of Lim’s book after the agreement ended.

It involves the active participation of a large corporation, addresses three separate types of copyright infringement, and deals with statute of limitations issues.
