Have you seen the post I was replying to?

You mean the comment written by me? This is a very tedious way of arguing - if you have a point, why dont you make it?

You think Disney IP should be free for all to use? Just remember this would go both ways - Disney could take the work of any independent author or artist and use freely without crediting.

My point is that the Disney empire was built on public domain works.

At least the older stuff should become public domain.

They're trying to have their cake and eat it.

It's not normal or sane or good for society that things created 70+ years ago are still locked up in a corporate vault.

You can make your own adaptions of Cinderella or The Snow Queen. Nothing is stopping you. You just cant use the exact character design of Anna and Elsa, but why would you want that anyway?

You’re each arguing half of the article and are thus both correct.

Your conflict is self-created and can also be undone.
