I must be the only one that is not bothered by Disney having a permanent monopoly over Disney characters. They created the characters, they nurtured them, and they maintain their image to this day and this is their business. I am not at all compelled by someone who feels it’s now right, because Mickey is part of American culture, to make their own commercial products with that IP.

Design your own damn characters.

To checksum, do you also believe that The Little Mermaid should still belong to Hans Christian Anderson?

No, and Mickey does not belong to Walt Disney either.

If Hans had created a business that sustained to this day, then that would be different situation.

So you don't mean a "permanent monopoly" without any considerations or constraints, then? More of a "use it or lose it" situation?
