Disney

I always knew of and loved Disney related films and toys growing up as a kid. As I grew older and began to realize a little more how the world worked, I just kind of figured Disney and it's rights will always belong to the founder of the of Disney, which is currently Walt and Roy Disney. However, back in 1998, a certain deadline came up that left Disney owners, employees and fans a little nervous. The rights to Disney were about out of a deadline due to copyright rights that only last for a certain year. On October 27th, 1998, Bill Clinton passed what's called a Copyright Term Extension Act that now extends copyright rights 20 years. Yeah left many at ease now, but what about in 2018? Then it enters the public domain. I initially thought that that's not right; the right should always be within the Walt Disney foundation, however, you have to think about other circumstances. For instance, a medical device is founded and produced by someone. Let’s say there’s no law to where the founder always has rights to this. This device is very helpful but it has a harsh consequence to leave scars, but is very efficient nonetheless. Well, somebody else believes they can produce the same device that is not only just as efficient, but it also doesn't leave the harsh scars. While he could still produce that device, certain rights along with benefits come along with this due to copyright laws. Wouldn't it make sense for the rights to have a deadline to rights then? I believe so. While it may initially not think it’s right for the rights of the owners to come into an end, you have to think on the other end of the spectrum that with a deadline, it opens the window for opportunities for better inventors to essentially tweak an invention for the better. That defiantly gives my okay, for the Copyright Term Extension Act to stay intact.
