      Public domain because the authors are long-dead. You can’t steal sales from a corpse.

          you’re comparing disney re-using work in a manner that directly competes with its living author with them re-using work of somebody who’s dead

          disney abuses the current system by pushing for copyright extensions because disney would abuse literally any system

          disney’s abuse of a no-copyright system would be significantly worse than disney’s abuse of this copyright system
