It's got nothing to do with Disney (other than them having changed the laws overall), it's to do with the original books. The first book is in the public domain, but the second book which introduced tigger, is not yet.
Yeah it has everything to do with the copyright bullshit Disney has been lobbying pas century or so
Yeah. ~~35~~ ~~70~~ 70+?! years after the creator’s death. That extension brought to you by the Disney company.
You're profiting off of this?
Congratulations!
If not, how does Tigger not being public domain affect you at all?
I realize this won't be a popular view, but I don't think you should be able to use, and profit from, a character someone else created, regardless of how long ago they were created. The original work becoming public domain, sure, but write your own characters.
These down votes are lame. I disagree with you completely, but your opinion is still valid. I think after the original author is long dead, I'd like to see new perspectives breathing new life into old fictional characters. Otherwise, are you saying we can't make new stories about Hercules, Odysseus, Jesus, etc?
I've got bad news for you about much of the history of human creative work.
There's a difference between getting inspiration from something, and downright stealing it.
Have you by chance read Dante's Divine Comedy? Or Milton's Paradise Lost? Just to name two works that are widely considered Fucking Classic off the top of my head. Do you have much background in literature?
And are they not in the public domain?
