Quote - Have these people NO shame???

Nope, they don't.

Therein lies the problem of eternal copyright... the IP holders are damned and determined to milk an idea/concept/plot for every dime its worth, for as long as they can.

If these were all Public Domain by now (like they should have been if the copyrights stayed at 30 years flat), at least we could see some interesting twists to the plot, or the studios, authors, etc would have to (brace yourself...) come up with new ideas for once.
