	The video is awesome, but do you think the RDR guys will get it? I know my six-years-old cousin would, though. Yes, I have not faith in RDR collective intellingence, why do you ask? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The tragic thing is the people in the comments not getting it. But no RDR wouldn't get it. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	That's pretty badass, but I doubt the RDR people would get that. (Reply to this)

	If RDR saw it, they'd just go, "Exactly! The Lexicon is Fair Use!" and maybe some babble about the Lexicon teaching people about Harry Potter. Okay, I know it's aimed specifically at Disney, but you know... I'm actually thankful for longer copyright terms, myself. :O (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The issue is that Disney tries to use the fact that they've bad animated movies based on a fairy tale to try and keep others from using said fairy tale. Or at least they used to, I'm not sure how much they're actively being asses about it anymore. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The video still comes off with a kind of "Fourteen years was long enough, folks" vibe. Maybe it's not how they intended it, but... meh. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Why? I mean, author's lifetime is a pretty good compromise for me. But now, grandchildren could profit from the works. And I'm sorry, but nobody is paying me for the sheep my granpa sold. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I'd rather not have my work be snatched up the moment I die, really. And yeah, I WOULD like my grandkids to profit from what I do, if I ever managed to make enough for that to happen -- or whoever I turn my estate over to. It's nice to know everything's not going to turn to shit for your loved ones when you're gone.

Maybe I'm greedy, but I like my ideas staying mine, at least for a while. Even if it won't affect me personally, I mean -- I'm never going to be that famous that anyone'll want my ideas anyway. XP

But then what about other kind of work??? As I said, I have to work to get what I want myself. I don't get money from what any of my ancestors did.
Grandkids do profit from their ancestors work (inheritance, properties, reputation even) but not directly and things don't turn to shit when you die.
Maybe an extension until your spouse dies/your kids turn into adults but what could easily be 150 years of copyright is just too much.
