Disney Wins Court Round: Walt Disney Co. has won temporary approval to use songs from the movie “Pinocchio” on videocassette advertisements. An appeals court in New York overturned an order that prevented Disney’s Buena Vista Home Video from using such songs as “When You Wish Upon a Star” until a trial is held to determine the legal rights to the songs. Bourne Co., a New York music publisher that holds the copyrights, contends that the advertisements were a “new use” for the 1939 songs and thus prohibited.
