    And eternal life of copyright is what has led to us having our current culture in decline media landscape of endless sequels, remakes, milking licenses, and reboots. Why risk a new IP when you own 3000000 “safe bets” you can endlessly recycle bullshit

    That doesn’t really track. You think that allowing everyone to use existing characters would incentivize them to create new characters?

    A lot of the original works we do get are because not everyone has access to the “safe bets”.
