[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8645836, member: 6802378"] Thanks for your answers. I like to know this thread is interesting for you. It is hard to guess this is going to happen, because this not only affect comics and Hollywood productions, but also musical and literary industry. And we don't know the impact with other countries. Could a Japanese videogame studio to use characters from marvel comics for the 40-50's years (for example Silly Seal and Ziggy Pig)? And an American publisher to publish a mash-up version of characters from European comics? (Blueberry is an French comics started in 1963, and Lucky Luke is French-Belgian from year 1946) Now let's imagine some American megacorporation bribing foreign politicians and then this happens in Spain, and USA can use IPs from Spain what now become "public domain", for example [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipi_y_Zape']Zipi and Zape, two little children famous in the Spanish strips decades ago[/URL], becoming a potential rival for other more recent franchises because somebody created the right cartoon or webcomic. The Northamerican entertaiment industry could hire an army of lawyers saying if other countries don't follow the same rules then this may be an unfair disadvantage. [/QUOTE]
