   Imagine a world where Walt Disney was a contemporary of Shakespeare and copyright became indefinite way back when. Count the derivative works that would be lost.

      @djsundog Hardly fair to hold Uncle Walt accountable for that - he died ten years before the first major revision of copyright, and more than 30 years before the Sonny Bono Act.

         @noelle it's true. I give him the rap unfairly to some degree. But Uncle Walt set wheels in motion. Uncle Walt was pro-dynastic thinking despite his best intentions (at least as I understand him, far removed).
