| Topic | Why do copyrights need to be extended after the death of the creator? |

If Nintendo is still around in 2050s, they'll likely be making better use of their IPs than some random guy wanting to jump on the name. If by the 2050s Nintendo has been dead for two decades and vultures have been picking at the rights for no reason other than cash grabs, then is should be released to the public. These laws never expected entities to last hundreds of years. Bad logic. If nintendo makes better use of their ips, then a guy making a nintendo game as their competition shouldn't be legally forced to stop. That is, he who makes the better mario, gets more money. Also, if everyone is making a mario because it is public domain, will be hard to "cash grab". Cash grab only works when a company can monopolize an IP via copyright. --- chill02 to me: you are beautiful ... Copied to Clipboard! |
