I accept that Sherlock Holmes and Jane Austin works are good examples as counter arguments to my hyperbolic “no one will invest in properties they can’t own”. Of course...one needn’t look past Disney for such examples.
I’d say this in reply....Disney and the folks behind the Holmes shows and movies were willing to invest in pre-existing stories...because they knew their own works would be protected by ownership and the value of the existing works was worth exploiting even though others can equally exploit those same works.
