Lol the censor board and Winnie the Pooh reminds me of the time Chinese censors were having a rough time trying to censor Megan Three Stallion’s (the artist who was featured in Cardi B’s W.A.P.) performance livestreamed at Coachella…
You’re profiting off of this?
Congratulations!
If not, how does Tigger not being public domain affect you at all?
I realize this won’t be a popular view, but I don’t think you should be able to use, and profit from, a character someone else created, regardless of how long ago they were created. The original work becoming public domain, sure, but write your own characters.
These down votes are lame. I disagree with you completely, but your opinion is still valid. I think after the original author is long dead, I’d like to see new perspectives breathing new life into old fictional characters. Otherwise, are you saying we can’t make new stories about Hercules, Odysseus, Jesus, etc?
I’ve got bad news for you about much of the history of human creative work.
There’s a difference between getting inspiration from something, and downright stealing it.
Have you by chance read Dante’s Divine Comedy? Or Milton’s Paradise Lost? Just to name two works that are widely considered Fucking Classic off the top of my head. Do you have much background in literature?
And are they not in the public domain?
Disney’s copyright goes harder than it ever should’ve in the first place.
It’s got nothing to do with Disney (other than them having changed the laws overall), it’s to do with the original books. The first book is in the public domain, but the second book which introduced tigger, is not yet.
Yeah.
357070+?! years after the creator’s death. That extension brought to you by the Disney company.Yeah it has everything to do with the copyright bullshit Disney has been lobbying pas century or so
