I think Disney sucks in a lot of ways but “dominance over copyright law”? Mickey is Disney. How does anyone deserve to have the rights to him other than the company that created him?

Now do all the public domain titles that Disney has made billions off of over the years

Allowing the ownership of acts of creative expression in perpetuity would create a hellscape of creative stagnation that I’m not sure some of you are really wrapping your heads around. As has been mentioned already on this thread, most of Disney’s early animation catalogue wouldn’t exist if not for creative works becoming public domain. Or should Disney have been required to pay von Goethe’s family several hundred years later for the rights to depict the story of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice?

The people who created the Steamboat Willy cartoon are dead. Nobody at the company named "Disney" had any involvement in the creation of Steamboat Willy.
Why should Americans have to pay anyone for the use of this historical cartoon? Who alive actually deserves payment for the creation of Steamboat Willy?
If we should have to pay descendants of cartoon creators to watch or adapt cartoons from a century ago, you probably think reparations for slavery is a good idea too.
