   Shouldn't the creator be the one to decide what is a reasonable time limit?   
      
   But to answer your question, it is selfish and self-serving because it   
   puts people in a position to get something for free that they would   
   otherwise have to purchase if they wanted to obtain it legally, and it's   
   painfully obvious that they don't want to pay for it.

   Disney is mo more or less greedy than anyone else, and their greed is   
   centered around wanting to protect *their* assets--things that they have   
   created or developed legally--whereas the greed of some in this thread   
   is centered around wanting something for nothing.
