Topic	Republicans propose bill to shorten copyright years, targeting Disney
Baha05 05/12/22 1:38:01 PM #23:	FortuneCookie posted... This is... kind of one issue I agree with the Republicans on. I know they're doing it deliberately to fuck Disney. But still. Everyone else had to play by the same rules. You get a character or concept for 80 years, then it becomes public domain. Now there are all these loopholes. You get to keep the character if you have a consistent movie series. You get to keep the story if you release a video game in time. To me, it seems like those laws either need to be set in stone or else we need just do away with the public domain altogether. Let the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle get exclusive legal rights to Sherlock Holmes. Let the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs keep Tarzan. Host public auctions to see who gets to own the exclusive rights to Robin Hood, Hercules, and other characters for whom the rightful author is untraceable. See idk as a creator to an extent I do find the notion of public domain to be murky in the sense if I had characters that I made money off of but then I have them released to the public for anyone to mess with that means Inmost likely could lose out on money or my characters images could be damaged so I can see why Disney were pushing to extend copyright. What I dont think should be legal is copyright on essentials. --- "He may be Mr. Clean, but his soul will always be dirty!" <cite>Baha05 posted [p:964982090] in Republican...
