Now do all the public domain titles that Disney has made billions off of over the years
There’s a problem with the law, not the people taking advantage of them. Same as taxes

It's not a problem with the law at all.
The public benefited from Disney creating fantastic cartoons based off of public domain titles. Those classic stories belong to humanity, so Disney can make adaptations if they like. There's nothing wrong with that, nor is there anything wrong with Disney profiting from it. And long after the creators of Steamboat Willy are dead, that work, too, will be long to humanity.
The contradiction comes in when the Disney corporation thinks they can profit off of old public domain works they didn't create but should also control other works they didn't create.
