How nice for Disney that they don’t have to pay someone for permission to
use ideas that they then tweak to their own grotesque commercial purposes:
Snow White, Cinderella, Robin Hood, Treasure Island (and Treasure Planet for
that matter!) -- to name but a few.
It really ticks me off.

Arrrrr, but where would we be wi’out Robert Newton’s scenery-chewin’ iconic
pyrate performance, ya swab! Pronouncin’ our Rs as Hs like some dandified
lubber, ‘stead of pronouncing ‘em so far back in our throats that we near
swallow ‘em, that’s where we’d be! Best decision them pyrates (takes one to
know one, I be saying) at Disney ever made! Just think of what kind of image us
corsairs, buccaneers, and freebooters would be having if’n they had chosen some
sissy like Jonny Depp to play a pyrate. Arrrharharhar...what? Oh no.....

How about the rape of Stravinsky for Fantasia? His choice was to take $5,000
for the film rights or Disney would use the score anyway due to copyright
enforcement problems. Then they cut it up and stuck in a bunch of dinosaurs
instead of the proper pagan sacrificial rites.
Which, of course, I loved seeing as a kid at Graumann’s Chinese Theatre (none
of this revisionist Mann’s nonsense). Is there an artist that doesn’t love the
illusion of life?

What really has me confused about this whole thing is that Orrin Hatch a year ago called for a more flexible interpretation of the whole music copywrite laws so that file sharing would be allowed. I don't understand his flip-flop, and I (...) (21 years ago, 20-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
