Exactly. If you have Streamboat Willie murdering some other character or something, that’s totally fine because the average consumer won’t think it came from Disney.

Here’s my opinion on IP law:

• trademark - should continue existing as it is today, though perhaps relax the “must protect trademark” rule to limit pointless lawsuits
• patents - limit duration to 5-7 years, perhaps with a one-time renewal if you need more time to hit the market; patents must be owned by individuals, not companies and cannot be sold; patent lawsuits would have stiff penalties if the suit is deemed frivolous
• copyright - revert to original duration: 14 years, renewable once

I’m totally fine with trademark continuing as it is today.
