The idea of an exponential fee is a good one, in what universe does a _single_ Disney IP become worth over $1T?

Did you mean to reply to someone else? I agreed with Disney paying more. My issue is with small time authors being unable to afford the fee and people wanting to license the content just waiting out each 14 year term out to see if the author will renew instead of simply licensing it. The example I gave is the Lord of the Rings.

The proposed system doesn’t affect Disney that much, but it will negatively affect small timers.
