The legal battle between Deadmau5 and Disney has escalated with the DJ claiming that the corporation never asked for his permission to use his track. Watch the video below.
As previously reported this week, Disney have commenced legal proceedings to prevent Deadmau5 establishing a copyright claim on his rodent symbol. However the DJ - real name Joel Zimmerman - has hit back in a series of tweets complaining that the corporation used his track 'Ghosts N' Stuff' on the video 'Re-Micks' without permission..
Billboard reports that Zimmerman then proceeded to attack the corporation in a series of tweets to his 3 million followers.
So now, @disney is illegally using my work... and CONFUSING people that id actualyly work with these twats.

This week TMZ revealed that Disney have filed a legal claim to block Deadmau5 trademarking his mau5 head logo in the US, having already secured it in Japan, Germany, Italy and the UK.
The House Of Mouse have previously expressed concern about Deadmau5 logo. The producer himself admitted as much - as he told Rolling Stone in his first cover story, “Someone at the Disney patent office fell asleep on that one."
