I do. But I haven't seen any additional desecrations of Mickey Mouse since he fell out of copyright, so perhaps nothing can be worse than what's already happened legitimately. Which is worse, Jackson which distorted Tolkien, or Amazon which is totally unrelated to Tolkien but pretends it is, I can hardly say.

Fan fiction was OK when it was printed in small-circulation fanzines. People who wanted could read it where it could be enjoyed inoffensively, and those who didn't want didn't have it waved in front of them. But the internet changed things. Posting on the open internet is tantamount to publishing.
