    AFAIK, this is not talking about paintings, sketches, etc. It explicitly says highly realistic. Also, it specifies digitally.

    Also, wouldn’t your argument about Disney have been true before this law?

      Yes, I think Copyright lasts way to long. In fact, I believe that in an ideal world, copyright wouldn’t exist, because artists should be free to create whatever they please. So if a painter wants to paint, say Han Solo wearing a silly hat, they should be free to do so, but under copyright, they can be sued if they do so. Of course I realize that artists need to sustain themselves, and therefore need to monetize their artwork, hence we have copyright. But even then, it should be limited to, say, 20 years from creation of the work. That way, the artists would be able to monetize their work, even handsomely, but it would stop cultural landlords like Disney from arising.
