Context is important.

We're talking about Disney the multi-trillion-dollar corp holding copyright for countless works for decades after the original creators died.

Yes, in this case, resounding yes: the longer you hold on to something, the more you have to pay (exponentially, if possible).

I doubt anyone is really arguing that a creator shouldn't benefit from their works.

Mickey Mouse is almost 94 years old now. Guess what. Brothers Grimm published the 7th edition of their tales in 1857. The last of Brothers Grimm died in 1863. Walt Disney released Snow White in 1937, Cinderella in 1950, etc. But sure. Do tell us how we are not allowed to do anything about Mickey Mouse

The Brothers Grimm wrote Aschenputtel, whereas Cendrillon was written by Perrault in 1697.
