Disney created an empire out of recycling "open source" folklore tales, then did use that influence to screw over copyright for generations to come.

This last decade it's been busy gobbling up anything worthwhile it hasn't already recycled 20 times.

The open source crowd didn’t whine about closed source software. They created their own alternatives. Instead of clamoring for others to give their stuff away, work with like minded people to create your own.

Or is your time more valuable trading labor for money like most people?

I'm not the one "clamoring" for anybody to give anything away.

Disney didn't work with any of the original creators of these tales, nor their surviving relatives, yet they took that "stuff" and made it solely their own.

I think shared culture is more valuable than having it exploited and gate-kept for purely commercial purposes.

Yet we now live in a world were institutions and people can get "punished" for singing happy birthday.

It's plainly absurd, but by now so normalized that most people stopped caring or even questioning the kind of power and influence Disney has amassed trough it's questionable practices.

Are you willing to take the time and give your talents away without compensation?
