    You didn’t answer my questions

    To answer yours, beyond what i already laid out in the question itself, the original Night Of The Living Dead has been out of copyright for decades, and yet corporations still make money off it.

      How do they make money off of it?

      Do they create their own derivative work and then make money off of that because copyright laws prevent people from copying and redistributing it for free?

      Edit: They didn’t have an answer because they know I’m right. They respond with insults rather than admitting they’re wrong.

      This is why businesses that profit off of copyright and patent laws make so much profit, because they have no shortage of suckers and saps who don’t know any better proud to throw money at them.

      But hey, at least they fit in with each other, right? 😉
