Temporary monopolies are the governments reward to encourage new works of art and inventions. The trade off is that it’s temporary. By extending copyrights indefinitely it actually discourages new works to be created because they’re competing with more creations than ever, and nothing can be built as a derivative work. Trademarks, which Disney still owns, are protected basically indefinitely.
I saw IDE cables referred to as PATA cables in a YouTube video earlier today. “Huh, I don’t remember calling them that.” Luckily right after that they clarified that’s a more recent name for them. Still felt old.
