stephanie sterling released a jimquisition episode about EA holding the license to the Alice video game franchise out of use, and how the original developer can't even make a new Alice game as a result. it's a very good video and it's another tally mark in the wall of ways intellectual property and the corporate media publishers it exists for suppresses art.

having a monopoly right to an idea is bad enough, but refusing to do anything productive with it when developers want to do so, or trapping it in a cycle where it changes hands between the same billion-dollar publishers is deeply stupid.
