Mickey Mouse is like the old guy that bathes in children's blood to regain his youth. Every time he's about to become public domain, copyright duration gets extended.
"These works should belong to the public, not to a bunch of communists."
That's a pretty ironic statement.
No, Marxism has always been Capitalism in decline. Markets have always existed & will always exist, which is why it is never "true Communism/Socialism". The Corporate Marxism that we see these days is not only not a contradiction but the most logical conclusion of Marxism.
Copyright and family estates are not bad things. Current laws probably are though.
Best change would probably be that a work becomes public domain once the original creator and/or his designated heirs give up their hold on its copyright, whether through selling it or time
That’s retarded, copyright law is a bastardized form of socialist capitalism. Imagine having to pay someone every time you use the plus sign to do a math calculation.
I truly wish every day that people would disconnect from vacuous consumerism or at the very least return to the age of sailing the high seas to view something.
I know escapism is important and I'm not a hypocrite. I know I play games and read books; every now and then I even watch a movie. I haven't watched a new TV show in years but I have finished a couple I began from before. The last movie I paid to see was Thor: Ragnarok — whenever that was. With games, I'm very particular about my purchases and don't feel compelled to purchase something immediately, let alone participate in the corrupt as hell "pre-order" system. Anyway, I digress.
The thing is, that a capitalist society only functions well if people vote with their wallet. It sounds stupid but it truly does have an impact. Too many people complain, then purchase something and are willing to say "I just ignore those parts" — as if that will somehow make it change. I'll even admit that when I was younger I did the same thing. I would justify the purchase by saying to myself: "It's just one sale. Other people are boycotting it, so things will change in the future. My purchase won't affect anything." But that's when I was literally a teenager not considering that such a view was not unique to myself, countless others undoubtedly used the same reasoning as well.
Sure, some companies really are willing to hemorrhage money in order to push their agenda, however, that doesn't mean that they all are. In fact, I'd wager that most — due to being beholden to stockholders — very much wouldn't.
Instead, we've entered a time where people continue to pay to be miserable and feel that screaming on social media somehow solves the problem and doesn't instead provide free advertising for people to go check the particular product out to see what all of the fuss is about. It's a type of pernicious obsequious behavior that people can easily put an end to if they chose to, which would have an indelible impact on every facet of consumer culture — even more so with aggregate participation. That's precisely why corporations spend so much time and effort not only silencing people's criticisms but paying off "certified" critics. It's why comment sections have been eliminated on practically every site as well. They want to funnel people to places where they can control the overall narrative.
Many people only believe in certain illusions promulgated by mainstream culture. Surprisingly, there are many "independent" creators and companies who do incredibly well financially. Quite a few do even better in profits than their corporate counterparts. I think a good example would be comic books. There are several independent artists who crowdfund or simply distribute directly who make large amounts of money in comparison to Marvel or DC for instance. We just don't hear about it.
I'm hoping that moving forward, people become much more picky about what they'll purchase and go back to some old ways. But in a culture of convenience and instant gratification, it's hard to tell if it will happen.
Movies and TV is something couples do together at the end of a long day to relax. Losing that part of our lives has been devastating for my wife and myself. We have so many good memories together just watching a good movie or show. Now we sit on our phones getting pissed off at the state of the country and the world.
I feel you. You should really try to go back and watch some documentaries or movies that you've never checked out. There's plenty of classic TV and Films that can be a blast to enjoy. It's like a glance into the past at a bygone era. I've been seeing a new girl recently and we also really enjoy watching old movies and docu-series — neither of us are particularly into TV, though. Board games can be another really fun one, too.
Just don't get lost in the rage/clickbait. Be sure to take time to enjoy life. The miserable aspects aren't going anywhere. As long as you have each other you can explore new things that you both enjoy.
I take it that the family sells. If I was an author knowing what I know now is put in my will that any adaptations have to honor the spirit of the story and zero race/gender swaps.
With new versions of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda already in the works, the streaming service can mine the legendary British author's back catalog of children's classics like Fantastic Mr. Fox, James and the Giant Peach, The Twits and The BFG, which have sold more than 300 million copies worldwide.
*can destroy. fuck these niggars
Netflix boss Ted Sarandos said in a blog post that the goal was to create a "unique universe across animated and live action films and TV, publishing, games, immersive experiences, live theatre, consumer products and more." Shall we call it the Dahl-verse, or does Wonka-verse work better?
reminds me of a certain who faggot. fuck this nigga cunt
Matilda will fight against her parents that do not want to place her on hormones.
Finally the half shaved head, blue haired teacher with BLM and Rainbow flags saves her and they go to the gender reassignment clinic together.
A story as old as time that the entire family can enjoy.
Shame to sell it to them but it is their right. Intellectual property shouldn't fall into public domain, the same way your other property shouldn't. Unless of course you were dead with no heirs decades ago and some company just happened to seize your rights like with Robert E. Howard.
Fuck family estates and copyright law. These works should belong to the public, not to a bunch of communists.
That's a pretty ironic statement, but I know what you mean.
I’m pretty sure Mickey Mouse is going to visit you soon

That’s retarded, copyright law is a bastardized form of socialist capitalism. Imagine having to pay someone every time you use the plus sign to do a math calculation.
Imagine creating a magnificent work and not being able to make money on it because twenty other people copy and publish your exact novel
Imagine creating a work and having it bastardized because your fuckass kids sold it to people who wanted it purely for politics.
So you want stricter copyright law then? Such that the copyright can never be transfered or expire?
Imagine a timeline where people could only profit off of originality for a set period in their life before competition forced them to adapt or die.
Based.
roal dahl did, its the estate selling it to a soulless faggot company headed by barack whose goal is destroying all our good stories with woke shit

Stay positive, friend.
Great points all around. I watch mostly old tv and mainly play modded Skyrim

Didn't Roald Dahl justify violence against Salman Rushdie? Woke bastard having his works destroyed by other wokies.
*can destroy. fuck these niggars
reminds me of a certain who faggot. fuck this nigga cunt
Calling it now:
Matilda will fight against her parents that do not want to place her on hormones. Finally the half shaved head, blue haired teacher with BLM and Rainbow flags saves her and they go to the gender reassignment clinic together.
