Mario certainly has-there are adults alive now who played Super Mario Bros. the public domain exists for works which have become part of culture. this stanning for multinational corporations is absurd. they have already made an obscene profit off of the Mario intellectual property, and it's not as though they could not make more Mario games if the IP became part of the public domain. the PEOPLE who made Mario 64 are not the same PEOPLE who made Mario Odyssey, and the PEOPLE who made the original Super Mario Bros. Sat 24th Apr Nintendo shouldn't continue owning Mario because 'they' are a corporation, not a person.

Many popular stories and characters are in the public domain, and even were copyrighted at one point but then became public domain, every year we have thousands of works based on fairy tales, mythology and classic literature, this isn't stealing content, this isn't being lazy.Ĭhanging the subject to Disney, for decades, they tried to extend copyright more and more so they would never lose the rights of things they created like Mickey Mouse, you could argue that they created Mickey so they are just protecting their creations, nothing wrong with that, but many other Disney creations were directly taken from the public domain, The Jungle Book movie was released one year after the original book became public domain. Fri 23rd Apr Because stuff like music, stories, characters, are just ideas, while people worked hard to make them, they are still just ideas, people should not be allowed to own ideas, ideas are meant to be shared, improved and expanded, copyright is not actual ownership like owning money, land, a house or a car.Īnd yes, copyright laws state that once the creator of something like music, books, movies and also videogames die, their works become public domain and everyone can use them, but companies can last centuries, longer than people can live, that's why when copyright is owned by a company, the timer for copyright to expire starts after release, they don't have to wait for the company to stop existing.Video games are luxury items, now necessities that we need to survive like medicine or food. They are no even obligated to sell it to us. If the person or people who made something are still alive, it's theirs to do with as they please. We are not entitled to another person's work. And the people who own the rights to it pass away, then, maybe, you'd have a point. Now, if a company lets a franchise die, and it's no longer in any form of active development or sale. We are not just entitled to it once it gets old. They should be able to profit off of it more or less indefinitely. Nintendo and the people working for Nintendo made these games.

This is an active series that still regularly gets new entries. It's not like it's a dead series and everyone who worked on it is long since dead. And they are still actively making games for the series.
