> Why?
Think of all the art that has been created based off of the works of Shakespeare or Beethoven. That art adds value to society. Why should any entity have the exclusive right to an idea after all those who actually came up with the idea are dead?
> Further if you think that is what would happen I have a bridge to sell you.
There are many, many, many examples of creative works made based on stories and characters in the public domain, so yes. I do think that would happen.
> What would happen is a big company like walmart would sell Mickey mouse stuff without giving Disney their due.
The same thing that would happen if other companies made things based on other public domain works, like Aladdni or Alice in Wonderland movies, or Tarzan dolls like I mentioned above.
Edit: Also, WalMart would not be able to sell "Mickey Mouse" dolls, because "Mickey Mouse" and his design are a registered trademark of Disney. All that would happen if some Mickey Mouse cartoons fell into the public domain would be that people would be free to distribute those specific works. For example, there are some Superman cartoons from the 1940s that are in the public domain, but "Superman," the "S" logo and other parts of his design are still owned by DC/Time Warner. You are free to distribute those specific cartoons, but you cannot create any derivative works that infringe on DC's trademarks. Trademarks, unlike copyright, can go on indefinitely, but they require registration and active use and defense by their owner.
My parents were pretty cheap and didn't buy me much in terms of entertainment (we didn't even have cable/ a gaming system). One of the few times my Dad got me something he announced that day that he was going to buy us Aladdin (the movie had just come out on VHS a couple weeks before I think). We got really excited, while he would rent us movies sometimes, he never bought us one before. Came home with this when he came back from work the next day. This comic brought me back to that moment. Never complained to him about it, but damn was I let down. Still, I ended up watching the shit out of that crappy Aladdin knockoff.
