Reply To: "What if …" – the Disney+ series … is kind of 'meh' ?

Disney does more than bend the rules. They literally write the Intellectual Property laws.

The complaints above are not all founded- if Stan Lee’s creations had been registered to him personally, they’d be good for another 70 years after his death. But it remains true that there are a lot of things that are in IP hell because Disney keeps extending the reach of how long they can hold onto their copyrights.

(trademarks are different as well, but if Disney hadn’t changed the laws, Steamboat Willie would be public domain by now).
