As a great opponent of any form of IP, I have been following the event of Disney's Steamboat Willie entering the public domain with great amusement. The incidents where creators have been falsely demonetized on youtube for rightfully using this film is further underpinned by Disney's decades-long shameless practices. The linked article sums it up quite well I think.

Oh I'm sorry, though the entire article being about copyright was enough.

If I spend an entire article talking about ways that school dress codes fall afoul of cultural values because Scot sometimes wear kilts, am I not talking about dress codes?

Just because you can't extrapolate doesn't mean the rest of us shouldn't.

The reality is that copyright, trademark, and patents are crazy different but that's cool. Just bundle them up.
