oh sure fill the public domain with your garbage thanks
What if creates non original work? Like what if I just copies Mickey mouse and pretends it created it? Can it infringe in copy right? Or does that move mickey to the public domain
Then lawyers get involved who hash out what exactly is a copy of mickey mouse, and does this match that? Is just any cartoon mouse? Is it a cartoon mouse with circular ears? And red shorts?
It sure as shit doesn't move Mickey to the public domain.
And, conversely, when Disney horks some small artist's work, Disney will out-lawyer them.
I see this turning to shit in a year or two. Maybe less.
fuck mickey mouse. if it draws muhammad then actually you're fucked
