One of, if not the wealthiest company on the planet, acting like they can't afford it. These people need to come back down to reality.
They wanted the IP not the staff.
And people thought 14 years of copyright was too short... you play capitalist games of granting virtually infinite monopolies (trademarks are incredibly effective at restricting the public domain), as property to sell and trade to the highest bidders, the public domain be damned, and you get capitalist prizes like massive layoffs and unemployment and a deteriorating, corporation-owned culture
