Of course people want to grab value someone else has. There is no debate that it's desirable to be given money in various forms.
But do we define the rights of property as temporary? I don't think so. Not for fiction. If you don't want to pay the rights holder for using their intellectual property. If you don't want to....you can create a NEW story. Then it's up to you to build up the "mind space" that someone else has already built for their intellectual property.
And it's not ONLY about money. It's about control. It's the ability to deny Mickey Porn or political parties using an artist's work to promote issues the artist might abhor.
