I don't hate them.

They strongarmed/lobbied/bribed politicians into passing Copyright Extension Act, called the Mickey Mouse Protection Act among writers.

From Wiki:

The 1998 Act extended these terms to life of the author plus 70 years and for works of corporate authorship to 120 years after creation or 95 years after publication, whichever end is earlier. For works published before January 1, 1978, the 1998 act extended the renewal term from 47 years to 67 years, granting a total of 95 years.

That itself is unfair because works are supposed to enter public domain after they've been in use for so long.

Then they use this to play hardball with the little guy.

Ex. If a fan fic writer says. *Crap. That man looked like Darth Vader*, Disney would (if they found out) sue him to his last penny.

You can't say someone has Mickey Mouse ears in a movie. That's a violation of copyright.

So on and on.

In the rest of the world, copyright is author's life + 50 or 70 years. And they don't generally go after the little guy.

Best part is they culturally appropriate and copyright those. They copyrighted the phrase Hakuna Matata. It's a phrase from Swahili. Native speakers now can't put it on tees because Disney trademarked it.

I think they did similar stuff with Aladdin also. Not sure.

Eta. Wonder if they will do the same with Astras. Can the rest of India now use brahmastra in their stories?😆 It's been part of our tales since Iron Age.

They play hardball.

That's why I'm shaking my head at all these people who think Ranbir or Alia or KJo or even Ayan would have any actual power. If Disney decides they want Deepika, she will be in it. No generosity from Alia will have anything to do with it. Disney ain't Dharma.

Same if they don't want a particular star. No amount hand wringing from Deepika fans will change it.

Disney peeps can decide to stay hands off, but they will intervene if they thought Ayan was making wrong decision for their bottomline. Heck. They've even switched directors in a franchise if I'm not mistaken.

May be Disney is not sure will it continue r not 😆

Deepika aur Ranveer Singh ki on-screen chemistry fit baithegi second part mai.

I think it's a good call to let DP's PR do the talks. Isse he won't confirm anything and can still decide if he wants her or not (beewi ko bas Shiva Shiva chillane ko bola, ex se kya hi karwayega) and if does work out, DP fans will join the fandom.

@bold 🤣

Looks like they decided to dump her after all the frenzy!
