No, I am not making such claims. If a site refused to take your code 
off, they must have been pretty stupid. Out of curiosity, what exactly 
were they offering for download?

Makes you wonder why Disney wants to hold onto these ancient cartoons so 
badly anyway, given that many of them have material that would not be 
considered politically correct nowadays.

Indeed if the copyrights on their cartoons expired, they could still 
sell $50 DVD sets of them. Nobody would buy them (and I'm sure no one 
does now), but they could do it. None of it really matters to me 
personally, since I never cared for Disney and wouldn't watch most of 
their cartoons for free or money.
