It's ironic that Disney relied on the public domain for so much of its material, Snow White, Pinocchio, Treasure Island, Arabian Nights, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, etc.
That's not ironic - that's a clever way to create your own set of trademarks without having to pay to any copyright holder in advance.

And trademarks are the corporates' way to elude today's copyrights for coming (stockholders) generations. A trademark can be infinite, so why even bother with a 70+ years law?
