Yes, that is the plan....the only caveat being that if we win, we don't get to host.

Note, there's no guarantee we, Canada, will be in the big finale. There's a round or two of competition before it gets to that stage.

Meowtf?

...actually I'm finding it hard to confirm either way. Some reports say it's just a standalone, Canada Eurovision thing. Others say we'll participate, like Australia, in the actual contest. So I don't know. Seeking confirmation ....

You can already see Canada on that map. Not all of it, though.

I'm actually up for nuking eurovision.

Canada's in the next one 

French or English song?

They got their own Frenchies and socialized medicine. I think they count as European.

Plus Celine Dion's already won it (for Switzerland).

Rather it is not clear they have those rights and even if they did it is not certain they would use them.

You must've started this post before I edited in the last part - seems to me they explicitly have those rights.

I must have missed where it says that in the article-it's not in the bit you quoted.

I mean neither of us are IP lawyers (and we don't have the legal text, just a news article), but you're at least a lawyer so maybe your interpretation is more accurate - but I'd think this bit covers it.

The deal does give Marvel permission to use Lee's name, voice, likeness and signature in movies and television projects, as well as to use images, existing footage and existing audio recordings featuring him. The rights to use Lee's name, voice, likeness and signature exclusively in theme parks, cruise lines and in-park merchandise were also included in the deal. Audiences and parkgoers could see Lee turn up as figures and toys, and on apparel and stationery.

And I don't see what the problem is if they use an image that was created before his death.

So I will ask again, what is the big deal here?

When a Star Wars actor dies, should they stop using their image?

[Eddie Teach]

They could animate the image to do new things the person might never have done.

[Grey Fox]

Not that a big of a deal.

Charles Darwin is out there endorsing Pringles chips.

There's is it a legal problem, is it an ethical problem, and then is it fucked up and weird even if it passes these checks.
