   From what I can make out of your typing, you seem to think that   
   Disney has paid some money to the family for the song.  In fact,   
   they have paid nothing, arguing that the author/family no longer   
   hold copyright on it.  The law says it should have reverted to   
   the family in 1987, so they ought to receive something.  And yes,   
   because Disney has been the major single benefactor of the music,   
   they are the focus of getting some sort of restitution.  I'm glad   
   you can be so churlish about denying poverty-stricken people their   
   rights.  The hypocrisy of creating morality tales about africa,   
   then turning your back on those who got you there, seems lost on you.
