Hello frens,
As a great opponent of any form of IP, I have been following the event of Disney’s Steamboat Willie entering the public domain with great amusement. The incidents where creators have been falsely demonetized on youtube for rightfully using this film is further underpinned by Disney’s decades-long shameless practices. The linked article sums it up quite well I think.
if you can’t make bank in 7 years then it’s a you problem and it’s time to give others a try.
Unfortunately right now the media megacorps would have no problem suppressing an IP for 7 years just to use it for their own later. They run the distribution channels.
Early access developers in shambles rn
Imagine if Star Citizens got picked up by someone else who could actually finish it.
