Hollywood Reporter: Time to cancel those surveys asking whether anyone would confuse the logo of Deadmau5 with the head of Mickey Mouse. Deadmau5 – a.k.a. EDM star Joel Zimmerman — has come to an agreement with Disney over his registration of a caricature of a mouse head with black ears, black face, white eyes and white mouth.
