- matheusmoreira 4y agoIt's interesting how we've been robbed of the same public domain rights that contributed massively to the success of corporations like Disney.
- joshspankit 4y agoIndeed. At least 50 “Disney properties” and counting. Snow White, Cinderella, Robin Hood, Tangled, Princess and the Frog, Pinocchio, the music of Fantasia, Aladdin....
- chrismcb 4y agoBut... You haven't been. All of those stories are still in the public domain.
- matheusmoreira 4y agoOh but we were. Disney benefited from other people's public domain works but we can't we benefit from Disney's own works because they lobbied to extend copyright duration and deny us our public domain rights.
