We fully agree, however, that unless they are the only shirts around
there is nothing wrong with that, don't we?

If I'm free to buy the unbranded shirt at 2 USD, it's my
money. Nothing bad with buying the 20 USD piece, I'm happy for its
maker.

What is really wrong is:

the fact that the copyright was extended by Disney's lobbying so they
can continue forever to "own" Mickey Mouse generations afters Walt and
the other co-creators are gone.

buying illegally made Mickey Mouse shirts, again as long as you have
the choice. See my suggestions about music.

100% agree about drugs and foods, as already stated.

This sounds interesting, but I didn't understand. Please explain.
