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.

        You can get assault and battery charges on a corpse? Why wouldn’t they just go after murder 1 in that case?

        I’d call it a property crime, but my brain hasn’t been fully cooked quite yet.

          No, it would be desecration of a corpse. That might change when we have the potential to revive corpsicles, but the law as it stands doesn’t consider destroying dead bodies as murder.
