What I learned about Disney

Disney is great and all, but it's really starting to get a bit grabby.

1) Disney succeeded in increasing the copyright law to life of the author plus 70 years (to protect Mickey Mouse and Co. from falling into the public domain in '05).  How do we know they won't do it again in 2025?  They're gonna keep increasing the copyright law and making it harder for the creation of derivative works of every single thing under copyright.

2) Disney has started buying out everything...they've bought the muppets...Marvel....I remember when they bought Marvel...Marvel fans were freaking out that all their favorite comic movies will become frilly and cute...good thing that hasn't happened yet.


At some point you've got to think, Disney, don't you have enough?  I love you and all, but your acting like a 2 year old in the "mine" phase...
