Disney’s copyright goes harder than it ever should’ve in the first place.

MrScottyTay ,

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 it has everything to do with the copyright bullshit Disney has been lobbying pas century or so

Donjuanme ,

You're profiting off of this?

Congratulations!

If not, how does Tigger not being public domain affect you at all?

Ilovethebomb ,

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.

I've got bad news for you about much of the history of human creative work.

Ilovethebomb ,

There's a difference between getting inspiration from something, and downright stealing it.

jjjalljs ,

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?

Donjuanme ,

And are they not in the public domain?
