They've made this web for themselves, by lobbying for longer and more restrictive copyright. The most pathetic irony here, is Disney, who made a small fortune milking public domain fairy-tales and yet have fought to prevent their extremely popular figures to become part of that same public domain - even after they clearly are part of a common world-spanning culture - much like 1001 nights, or the Greek mythos.
