    In my most pessimistic estimation, I can imagine companies doing a rush to transform old folklore and myths and public domain media into new IPs they own. How would they do it? I don't know, but the physical commons also had a strong tradition of being common and laws, as the state, exist to mediate and reinforce the oppression of one class by another.

        No reason to think they aren't already doing this on a more discreet fashion. At one point Disney tried to copyright Dia de los Muertos, seeing Disney try this and only stopping only after a huge backlash makes me think that there might be some traditions and cultural artifacts from not very visible cultures that have already been copyrighted.
