My opinion is some franchises have a natural life cycle and should die and people need to let them go.
Stop hoping Berman Star Trek comes back 20 years after Star Trek died. Stop hoping Disney sells Star Wars back to George Lucas or just sells it in general.
People want their franchises to remain the same way as they were, when they were young. They kind of expect and want them to continue forever when the entire nature of the universe is eventually all things end.
It’s not just limited to these two examples, they should also stop making Ghostbusters movies. And Jurassic Park is more than played out. We don’t need a fifth reboot of the same Superhero film made again.
Copyright law should be restored to its original intent and works after a time works should fall into public domain and a sharing of ideas should occur and derivative works, not the perverse copyright exists after an author has died long ago. not in a favor of capitalism or corporations.
No giving mickey mouse eternal life as a Disney owned character long after Walt died. We gotta pervert the entire law to protect steamboat from going public domain. To which they eventually lost anyway they just delayed it by decades.
Patents should expire too and hobbyists should be allowed to do Roms of Nintendo games without legal consequences.
Preservation of long out of print works should be protected under fair use.
