what what about the "Copyright" of walt disney who died in 1966. think of the poor descendants
- jjgreen 3y agoWon't someone think of the (geriatric) children?
- defrost 3y agoHmmm, if his head had been frozen and cryogenically preserved would his copyright(s) have persisted . . . Do any of the cryo crowd on ice get their artistic rights back if they were ever successfully decanted? I suspect legally dead is dead wrt rights and I doubt anyone frozen to date is coming back .. but it's potboiler for when ... sometime in some future.
- sjfjsjdjwvwvc 3y agoprotip: you can’t cheat death and no one is coming back
- HenryBemis 3y agoWith people toying around with cloning. With Elon (and others) toying around with 'accessing the brain'. I wouldn't be surprised if in 100-200 years from now the "Altered Carbon" (nice SciFi series) becomes reality. (and now we know where Disney will be investing) :)
- lupusreal 3y agoHaving a clone seems a lot closer to having a child or sibling than cheating death. If somebody is survived by their identical twin, we don't say the dead one is still alive.
- jhbadger 3y agoIn the Altered Carbon books/TV series, people can transfer their consciousness into new bodies to cheat death. That makes the issue of who is the same person more complicated than simple biological cloning.
- HenryBemis 3y agoDon't give ideas to Disney (and its legal team) please.. next you know (especially with US elections coming soon) they are ruthless enough to go for it! Don't forget the Birthday Song fiasco by our friends in Warner/Chappell!

- globular-toast 3y agoWhat if we extended copyright terms even more to encourage Disney to make more works back then?
