Disney trademark dispute
Please add "Zimmerman’s attorney, Dina LaPolt, who is based in Los Angeles, finds it strange that Disney is only coming after Deadmau5 now, when he has been using the mau5head for nearly a decade. Not to mention that in 30 other countries Zimmerman already owns rights to the mau5head." [1] after the sentence "Disney officially filed its opposition in September 2014, arguing that the mark is likely to cause confusion because it is "nearly identical in appearance, connotation, and overall commercial impression" to Disney's trademarked iconography of Mickey Mouse."
Please also add "However, in response to this, via his Twitter Deadmau5 stated, “So now @disney is illegally using my work… and CONFUSING people that I’d actually work with these t---s.” [2] after the sentence "Disney argued that it had properly licensed the song, and that there was "no merit to his statement."

Please add Deadmau5's iconic mouse head logo's appearance in the game Diablo 3 to the Game Appearances section. The item in the game Halcyon's Ascent was created in his honor as he is a long time Diablo fan, it's name "Halcyon's Ascent" refers to his original stage-name Halcyon441. You can find more information on it's Diablo Wiki page. Future6602 (talk) 11:48, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

A reliable source was posted in the form of the Diablo 3 Wikipedia article for the In-game item. Which links to a summary of a VOD, which you can watch here. In which a talk with a game developer confirms the reference. If it helps, they begin speaking about the item at around 46:15 in the VOD. Kawdie (talk) 17:31, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Purrari / Nyanborghini?
Sad that this part is missing in the article. Maybe someone finds the time to write something. Do not miss Nissans reaction ;) 2003:5B:4720:1C00:5C3:A39C:AFBA:FEA3 (talk) 09:34, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
1997
1997 should be 1998. What did he do in 1997? is this just a random year? First, it sayd his years active is 2005-present, then it took the years back to 1995-present, now we're jumping up two years? he does have an album he did 1998-2002, so I'm changing it to reflect this. As for the demo track, well, I once dreamed of being a musician and created one myself in the late 1990's with help from dj Andrew Sarkeesian, who himself had his first DJ demo in 1986, but his dj coreer didn't start untill Madchester, in 1989. so I'm using the same lojic to put it to a known starting year based on an album and not his demo's creation date.
Thanks
Glory man United.

- Why dont you just shift it to 1985 or 1983....he probably had a rattle in is had and was making "music"Starbwoy (talk) 18:43, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
My point exactly. Now some idiot went and threw 1994 in there for no reason other then maybe that's 10 years before they were born? I don't know. I've heard of DJ's starting off young, but what the hell did he do in 1994? Sorry people, messing on keyboards doesn't count. If it did, then I'd have a page that says Years active: 1986-1991.

years active
And what in the name of all holey god/gods or whatever in the flying f*** you want to believe in did our good friend Joel Thomas Zimmerman accomplish in 1994? Change it to 1998, that's the earliest confirmed work he did outside of emos, which don't count. If they did, then the Eric Prydz article for the years active should say 1988-present instead of 2002-present as he did demos and played the piano then. If you want semi-complete to complete demos then 1994-present or 1997-present. If it's not changed to 1998-present then I'm going to put the same reasoning for putting prydz to 1988-present. "oh but Eric, you low life idiot, prydz was only 12 in 1988!" Joel was 13 in 1994, one years f***ing difference guies. OH but what does this Mancunian know right? So, deadmau5 years active: 1998-present, confirmable and excluding demos that would put Eric Prydz at 1988-present if we put deadmau5 to 1995-present. Messing on a keyboard doesn't count there kiddies of wiki. The great man united supporter, Eric Ramus — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.195.166.103 (talk) 02:03, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Deadmau5's album entitled circa 1998-2002 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.195.166.103 (talk) 02:41, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

And where is the source that says he was active in 1994, at the age of 13? Oh yeah, there isn't any. At least I have known Eric Prydz for 20 years and he showed me what he did in 1988, but that's not good enough either. Pluss how do I know that 1994 is not a guestimate of the year deadmau5 started if we include demos which usually we don't. Last time I checked, official album titles "circa 1998-2002" is more reliable then guesses, be they educated or not. So again, point me out a source that says 1994 other then some dipshit child's ramblings about how it'd be so much cooler if deadmau5 was active 5-10 years before he (the kid) was born, or even a kid that thinks that demos and messing on the keyboard and mixing board count. You translate that into PC talk how you will, my point is the same. No source exists for 1994 at all (the demo was 1995 if you go with that) and 1998 is confirmable by the title. PS, it won't let me post external links due to that captcha thing not loading propperly.
