At one extreme you have Disney corp squeezing money out of copyrighted material they created/bought/licensed. On the other extreme, without any copyright, you have Disney corp squeezing money out of any material they can find. Copyright is a moat that works both ways. Without copyright, profit from art goes to the most efficient t-shirt screen printer.
What's the happy middle ground?
