Hello frens,

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.

Wait why is an IP or copyright bad? If I, a nobody make a great character or film, you're saying that should belong to everyone and I should get nothing out of it? Bullshit, why even bother then?
