Disney kills the possibility of companies and individuals creating stories of the cultural content of their own youth.

Do you like "Monkey Island"? Copyright doesn't allow you to create your own content. (And I know that it is also owned by Disney)

Children grow with 100-year-old stories not because they are better or more relevant, but because it is the only legacy that they receive.

The people that got Pinocchio, Alice in Wonderland, The Wizzard of Oz, and other stories for free are the ones that allowed the next generation to be stolen of that privilege.

Copyright is designed so anyone that cares and will pay for content, is long dead before making anything public domain.
