That's why it's just not going to happen on any kind of large scale.
Hey Disney's liscense to use Tarzan is over but Squeenix is still selling Kingdom Hearts 1 with Deep Jungle intact. I think they just need the sort of liscense that means they can sell the game that uses it forever, the expiration just meaning they can't make any NEW games with those characters down the road.
Lawyers ruin everything awesome!
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
