Wait, you’re telling me I can draw Batman x Superman porn in 10 years and sell it?
Copyright terms are so removeding stupid. Imagine getting into trouble for using Popeye. Make it the same as a patent duration and be done with it.
You can really see how invested the copyright owners were to get such long durations.

YouTube’s copyright system isn’t broken. The world’s is. (43 minutes long, but worth a watch)
Already working on a Bambi: First Blood movie.
Ah, but they’ll lobby harder. Batman will enter the public domain in 2,635.
People said that for years before Mickey entered public domain. It didn’t happen.
Yeah, they had shifted for a Trademark strategy a few years before it happened. It was pretty clear they weren’t interested in making it happen again, or had finally got pushback from the folks they donated to about it, or something. And if Disney decided to drop it, I don’t think WB, with less than half the cash, will decide to try it.
Copyright should be 14 years.
I want all of them to live together in one big house, reality TV style!!
… it appears there are mockups:
This show was really removeded up lmao my partner and I stayed at an Airbnb and while looking for something to watch and she saw this was like “honey this is kinda raunchy but we HAVE to watch it since you haven’t seen it” and then 10 minutes in we had to turn it off because of how awful it was haha. Fat shaming goth cutter Betty boop, gay link, racist Pikachu, hypersexual pedo superman, generally just racist to every possible point like the pig character and stereotypes.
My partner just said, “the racist characters existing themselves I could handle, it was the racism they were perpetuating that made me tap out” lmao. [Edit: I said it already but I feel the need to re-iterate, this was all in the first 10 minutes!! end edit.]
But to your point, this sort of show done right would be hilarious with the public domain characters lol
Dude the superman and batman stuff is gonna be nuts
Whoa! That’s illegal buddy. In more ways than one…
THERE ARE NO LAWS ON THE MOON, BATMAN!
Blaze@reddthat.com Surprised there isn’t more stuff with Winnie Pooh considering he’s in the public domain, pretty interesting graph tho
Can’t make any money off Winnie the Pooh content in China… for reasons.
Donald Duck is gonna be fire, I just know it.
Also, Disney has no rights to Snow White, they merely own the 7 very specificly named dwarves.
Stringy, Stingy, Stinky, Stampy, Strapping, Stressful, and Stephen Colbert
Snow White and the seven dwarves are 200 years old and already in the public domain.
The stories are, but not the characters as drawn by Disney, it’s like classic music, you can use the Music commercially (given that you Perform I), but you can’t use a performance from someone else.
Same with classic stories, you can make your own snow white story, but you can’t use snow white as performed by Disney (yet)
I wonder if this will herald an era of more original content and less of all this reusing of stuff all the time.
It won’t change anything. Old stories and characters are boring. Studios do it from time to time but like Robinhood movies aren’t great investments and since they don’t own the IP don’t lead to anything else.
Community made content is just for fun, so who cares if people make repetitive fan films, art, games.
Apparently it will herald an era of crappy horror movies.
