The article says Disney has ignored his legal representatives. I don't know how that's possible, but it's what the article says.

It means they haven't yet filed a court case. If you ignore the other side once they file, the courts tend to impose very real consequences.
Failure to appear in court is sometimes a ruling in favor of the plaintiff. He could go ahead and file the lawsuit.

No need for the snark. The part that was puzzling me is clarified by the courts evidently not being involved yet.

> No need for the snark.
I'm not being snarky. Legal representatives never have any power whatsoever, whether courts are involved or not, to make you do anything. Only a court has the power to do that.
>Do you think there's some kind of law that says you have to respond to someone's legal representatives?
>Which law do you think that is?
Answering with 2 belittling questions is clearly inflamatory.
>Legal representatives never have any power whatsoever, whether courts are involved or not, to make you do anything. Only a court has the power to do that.
This response after being called out for being snarky would have been a fine original response.
