Copyright and the Mouse

[classicdrogn]

Depends on how much money counts as "a lot" perhaps... last I heard, Disney stock was down about 44% after basically all their divisions took a beating this past year, with the only media property produced looking like it'll do well being the Avatar sequel, and even that not as well as predicted. Stock price isn't the same as the corporate lobbyists' war chest of course, but considering there's speculation about selling off stuff ranging from CNN to various media franchises to make up the money lost on Disney+, cratering theme park attendance, and box office bombs, that war chest may be shallower than it has been in quite some time.

The link that was posted in the other thread quoted the director of whicheve4r agency handles copyright as saying that letting it extend to 95 years was itself "a huge mistake" so there's not likely to be a warm reception from that angle either.
