More like 25k per week for every week after the first 15 years. 1600$ per year is a joke, for the stuff your children will be required to watch while growing up.

Yep it would have to be a % of profits for it to have any meaning. When Disney 'borrows' a public domain story and then slaps patents/trademarks over their glossy cartoon version they should pay for the right. Because once they have those cartoony characters they always manage to get 80 year copyright extensions on them and make a LOT of cash off them.
