    Referencing or reinterpreting old works used to be a stable in culture. But even with fair use laws (and not every contry has them) it is a legal minefield to use anything that isn’t public domain. So while copy right laws are intended to foster culture work production, the extreme long terms (105 years) actually harm it.

    ps disney itself build their animation film success partially on public domain fairy tales while simultainosly working on getting copyright laws to a point where no new public domain fairytales will be created ever again.
