One of, if not the wealthiest company on the planet, acting like they can't afford it. These people need to come back down to reality.

And people thought 14 years of copyright was too short... you play capitalist games of granting virtually infinite monopolies (trademarks are incredibly effective at restricting the public domain), as property to sell and trade to the highest bidders, the public domain be damned, and you get capitalist prizes like massive layoffs and unemployment and a deteriorating, corporation-owned culture

This is why they're one of the wealthiest companies on the planet. They're very good at "business", which is just a way of saying they're good at maximising profits.
