Remind me why we don't like Disney?

They have created the perpetual copyright scheme we all suffer with.

There's no reason copyright needs to last longer than 7 years

Even something like 30 years feel reasonable. It's insane how long it is.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It used to be 19 years with the option to renew for another 19. Meaning if you didn't care, it went into the public domain after 19 years and if you did care, it went into the public domain after 38 years. That seems really reasonable to me.

There is no value to society to have it last that long. And if there is no value to society, then the system should be changed.

"Value to society" is not what rule-makers care about.

They've also benefitted enormously themselves from public domain and expired or pre-copyright works like traditional folk tales etc. exploiting them and their timeless appeal for huge profits, then mired and viciously defended those derivative works with copyrights and trademarks, and refused to allow their own works' copyright to expire. Take take take, never giving back.

I grew up wanting more star wars, any star wars! now a new show comes out and I'm "meh"

also, I'm kind of over the shift from movies to shitty streaming shows. good ones are a diamond in the rough
