You didn't get it. Its not just Disney products, it's the fact that they were the ones who elected the law for copyright and not citizens. This makes the copyright law undemocratic.

Disney did not elect copyright laws.
What is copyrighted that you want so much? Video games? TV shows? Corporate software? A book? It's all entertainment, shitty entertainment at that. Are you mad because you have to pay money for a game? Play a free game. Seriously. Play your own music, entertain yourself. You don't need anything, literally anything that's copyrighted.

Whenever I hear people complain about copyright it's always over some weaksauce bullshit like wanting free entertainment. People act like they're being unfairly denied essential entertainment products. Stop suckling at the tit of the entertainment industry and you'll probably stop caring about copyright. When that happens, look into patents. You can use those for free, just can't sell the stuff you make from them. I have a patented 'lighting system' in my backyard. No one gives a shit because I built it myself from the patent and I'm not trying to sell it. There's enough free books and software out there that you can learn from and make your own stuff.
