I'm a lot older than your five year old, but I'm not sure I disagree Tangled is better. Legolas Send a noteboard - 06/01/2012 11:12:32 PM
They have done a lot that is better than the classics it is just that they are not classics yet. My five year old would rather watch Tangled then Snow White and isn't she the target audience regardless of what a bunch of adults think about the classics?

Snow White is a classic because it's the first, but apart from the evil stepmother and a few iconic scenes, it's not really that great a movie. While Tangled was surprisingly good.

I find it difficult to see this as stealing rights from the public. Rebekah - 04/01/2012 11:15:35 AM 1136 Views
Are you arguing for illegal use of legally protected works? Aeryn - 04/01/2012 09:34:18 PM 1093 Views
No. I'm saying that keeping works in copyright doesn't stop them from being read, watched, etc. Rebekah - 04/01/2012 10:24:50 PM 1047 Views
That's not the point, though. Macharius - 05/01/2012 01:05:17 PM 1124 Views

I don't get it. Palatine - 04/01/2012 05:51:19 PM 1380 Views
You know those Jane Austen parodies? Only because Jane Austen is in the public domain. Aeryn - 04/01/2012 09:32:20 PM 1180 Views
Parody is actually covered by the legal definition of fair use so doesn't break copyright. Rebekah - 04/01/2012 10:28:08 PM 1141 Views
I'm fairly sure the Jane Austen parodies do in fact use actual paragraphs... no? *NM* Legolas - 04/01/2012 10:31:32 PM 630 Views
The zombies one doesn't precisely. It's somewhat modernised. I've not read the others. Rebekah - 04/01/2012 10:32:59 PM 1073 Views
Precisely the point. Vivien - 04/01/2012 10:45:01 PM 1055 Views
Yes, they take tons of text from actual books. Contrast this with Ms. Rowling's reaction. *NM* Aeryn - 05/01/2012 07:01:46 PM 494 Views
If there's zero chance of needing a lawyer at some point, it's way more likely to actually happen. Vivien - 04/01/2012 10:43:23 PM 1160 Views
Regarding quotes or poem lines, they ask permission for those. Legolas - 05/01/2012 07:48:08 PM 1006 Views

Patents and copyrights aren't meant to last forever (shouldn't, anyway) Vivien - 04/01/2012 10:33:30 PM 1145 Views
I know they aren't. I don't necessarily agree that they shouldn't though. Palatine - 05/01/2012 05:01:05 PM 1034 Views

Do you think it is right that Disney can protect its movies? random thoughts - 05/01/2012 05:29:08 PM 1067 Views
Ok, what has movies Disney done lately that were on par with its classics? *NM* Aeryn - 05/01/2012 07:44:20 PM 478 Views
And speaking of Disney's classics... ranagrande - 05/01/2012 10:06:16 PM 1214 Views
Until Disney discovered and copyrighted them, they obviouslty didn't exist. *NM* Vivien - 06/01/2012 12:58:55 AM 513 Views
Except of course they haven't copyrighted them... DomA - 06/01/2012 01:53:01 AM 1035 Views

No incentive to make great new works if they can just keep re-releasing Lion King in 3D *NM* Aeryn - 06/01/2012 09:45:38 PM 585 Views

Well, if corporations are now people, then maybe their copyright could be different? *shrug* Larry - 05/01/2012 07:57:38 PM 1230 Views
Do you really want corporations to be immortal? Vivien - 06/01/2012 12:50:11 AM 1113 Views
