Right, copyright is not an "inalienable right". It is a law. We can and maybe should argue against that law as it currently stands. What I think we should argue against is that whatever created Mickey Mouse, or whoever BOUGHT that copyright, should have the right for it for 100 years. It's a bit like saying whoever built the fortress can rule the land from now on. But check-out Carl Barks. Does he or his estate own the copyright to his masterful art:

Currently the copyright law is truly married to the estate txation.

- galaxyLogic 12y agoYou may have seen a lot of bad cartoons from Disney but Barks was one of he most important visual artists of 20th century, if you can get to his works. Disney doesn't seem to advertize his works apart from anybody else for obvious reasons.
