It's stuff like this that makes me against copyright laws. To me it is clear and obvious that you own your own image, and it is far less obvious to me that a company can own an image whose creator drew multiple decades ago that everyone can identify. And yet one is protected and the other isn't.
What the hell do you own if not yourself? How come a corporation has more rights than we do?
This stuff should be defamation, full stop. There would need to be a law specifically saying you can't sign it away, though.
Get out of the way of progress
