“The age of Republican handouts to Big Business is over.
I guess Hawley isn’t familiar with how much money Kemp gives to the movie industry EVERY year and wants to give a inept EV company.
I was just now thinking, “what happened to the Disney vs. Don’t Say Gay crisis?”
Seems to have gone away all of a sudden.
I don’t understand the issues involved with copyrights apparently expiring after a certain number of years.
Does this mean that Disney’s right to Mickey Mouse and his name and likeness expires after a certain period of time? I guess I thought an owner of such characters and images and company names were indefinite?
Well, as I said, I don’t understand what’s going on with this.
And get rid of the exclusive FAA TFRs over both parks, CA and FL.
No private corporation should have its own no-fly-zones.
Just treat all Americana and companies the same.
If Disney has special carve outs and concessions - remove them.
This should be done generally, not just to Disney. Old movies, books, TV shows should have copyrights that expire.
The minimum length of copyright is subject to treaty I believe.
“and retroactively implement this change on companies, “ -— Is that even in the spirit of Constitution? I know ex-post facto laws in the founding document are referring to criminal laws, but the principal should be followed in other law.
Go after the groomers!
56 years is still insane. But it’s a start. Really 20 to start and renewable with quantitative changes on reissue. Like the rest of the world.
Should have been done a LONG time ago. It’s a travesty that they changed the copyright laws for this one massive corporation. No more favors for Groomer, Inc.

Patents are only for 17 years.
Maybe copyrights can follow!
Since the current Copyright is 95 years, Public Domain Day 2022 brought every thing from 1926 into the Public Domain.
Pass this bill, or something close to it, then everything written, filmed, recorded, taped, broadcast, etc. prior to 1966 falls into the Public Domain.
