Is he????? Jrr Tolkien is dead, but I cannot use his works without getting sued by another company that owns his “property”, even though it’s in the public domain.
Endless copyrighting is ridiculous, things just sit collecting dust when people could be adding to them but can’t.
All songs, stories, ideas are mostly rehashed from other great works of the past. Changed slightly and called new....NOW ITS MINE!!! HAHAHAHAH! Yep. That’s exactly how it is, too.
Because the elites twist the law to benefit them does not mean we should get rid of laws altogether.
When it’s interpreted reasonably well, copyright law works fine.
Copyrights on not endless, the protect the author and their immediate heirs. If you were an author and had made some money off your work, you’d feel the same exact way I do if someone stole your work and made money off it.
I’m a little guy; the guy everyone wants to take a copy of his work for free. Been going on since I was a kid.
Pay me for my work or do your own work.

But doesn’t that mean that it is not in the public domain?
