They were literally created based on greed: "No one will be creative unless they can make money from i!!"

They should be scaled back big time. Exclusive rights should be 20 years max for any creation.

Copyright law is good. We are out of the old days where intellectual property was pretty much always limited to an individual, and then little is done with it after their death. I feel it's more important Disney keep making money with Mickey than some random dude who would just use their popularity to make a quick buck like unregulated Chinese knockoffs.

Disney is is going to make money from Mickey Mouse products no matter what. They will also always have the "official" Disney name.

But if someone can make a Mickey Mouse video game much better than than anything Disney had produced in almost 30 years then great, he should be able to.

If you can make a better video game than the company that owns the character, maje it and pitch it to them. If they don't agree, make up a new character and background story, and sell your game with that instead.

The No One Lives Forever IP is dead because of shit copyright laws. Nobody knows who actually owns the IP, and nobody will bother checking to see if they do, but something like three companies have said that they will defend the copyright as if they own it.

So, just to be clear, Nintendo should be able to pour all their resources into making Hollow Knight and Shovel Knight sequels without consequence, yes? Disney can get cracking on the next Harry Potter movie?

I mean I'd argue making it difficult legally to steal someone else's original idea is a bigger deterrent to greed than copyright.

IMO, I think they should make one adjustment to the copyright rule

If Konami makes a TMNT game, they should have the full rights to that game, no matter what. Even if TMNT belongs to different company.

That means konami couldn't edit the game in any way. The original content has to be 100% preserved

And he is, as long as he doesn't profit off of it. Problem is who would put money into a high quality fan work they can't earn a cent off?
