I will do something rare. I will concede the point...I was wrong. Little Mermaid indeed proves that Disney will spend millions making a movie based on a public Domain story, even in these modern times of easy copying.
I do not, however, concede that Hans Christian Anderson’s heirs deserved no money from Disney. I think that the value to society is fulfilled by the creation of an original story and there is no need for a time limited copywrite.
It’s an opinion. YMMV
