Free Culture-Lessig 213-234

Lessig mentions that Disney used the stories of Grimm to make their ever popular movie franchise (213). But what happens when other companies or people start to do this, Disney starts to bash people like Deadmau5, when Disney themselves has violated copyrighted stories like Grimm which they do not own. Disney is making money off of creativity that wasn't there to begin with and claiming it as their own. Deadmau5's similar actions using a modified variation of Disney's mickey mouse bothers them, while it didn't bother them when they stole Grimm's stories. Disney does this with countless other stories that they made in to a movie adaptation, and as if it OK for them to do it and it's not OK for others. But there may be one flaw to this, which would be where did these original stories first originate, maybe Grimm wasn't the first to make stories which Disney altered.
