and we get another artistic 'victim' of the stupid copyright laws
currently in place. 

irony:
disney didn't need to ask the brothers grimm for 'snow white'. despite
disney's position on the copyright hall of shame, 'snow white' is an
artistic landmark. 

every artist stands on the shoulders of other artists [to a greater or
lesser degree].  so by legislating concepts of ownership on art stuff
the culture loses because you have to ask if you can stand on someone
else's shoulders instead of just doing it and letting it go where ever
it will take you [which is *much* better for art].
