But hell yes, Disney's overprotective about IP shit. Anytime Mickey's anywhere near getting into the public domain, they manage to get the country's copyright laws extended, which is probably a very bad thing.
That is one reason I hate Disney. Sure I like some of the stuff the create, but I hate Mickey, always have, and the fact that they fuck up the whole system for everyone else really shits me. It won't be much longer before nothing ever comes out of copyright in USA, and the countries with leaders moronic enough to sign up to their shit (Thanks Johnny). Imagine if you had to pay someone every time you wanted to play some Mozart? That sort of thing is going to be a reality if governments continue to allow themselves to be "persuaded" by greedy corporations, and we all know that's going to stop.
