Superman meets Eldred

Chris sez:

In the latest Adventures of Superman (#613 for those not keeping track) Lois Lane fights the evil public domain!

Mr. Funky Flashman (who says, "This isn't just about money Miss Lane… Okay, its mostly about money…") starts a merchandising business based on Superman's image and symbol. He mistakenly believes, "Superman is in the Public Domain." The Man himself is busy fighting supervillains, so Lois steps up to deal with Flashman. She convinces Flashman that a line of supervillains merchandise will only make him more money. Lois knows this will lead to Flashman getting a visit from a real supervillain, and it does. Captain Cold shows up and freezes Flashman solid while saying, "You ever hear of Intellectual Property…?"

I guess DC Comics feels every one, heros and villains, should work together to stop IP violators.
