Walt Disney stole my Pooh!
With the class discussion in class tonight about copyright I, once again, have my dander up about the Walt Disney corporation. The continual moving of the goalpost on account of intervention by Disney and other private interests is telling.
I find things like the Family Entertainnment and Copyright Act to be a bit much--the name even moreso than the content (I will not go into how the Personal Responsibility and Work OpportunityReconciliation Act of 1996 is not that at all)--that I have trouble taking them seriously. Goes to show that you can pass a bad law as long as it has a good sounding name. Who else is up for some climate change?
On second thought, this isn't a good place to talk about property rights, now that they have become the meaningful element of citizenship in the United States. This blog is not for grade.
