Agreed, granted I thought when IP protections was originally set up, it was only valid under copyright for 7-10 years (I need to go study that again). Then it was public domain.
Mickey Mouse is an infuarting example, no one is able to use the image for any reason without Disney coming down on them for a likeness that is many decades old.
I strongly support copyright protections, but only for a limited time & then it needs to become public domain.
