Do you think the real Santa gets and/or should be paid royalty fees for all the movies about him and all the Salvation Army, bell ringing wanna-be’s?

Asked by Self_Consuming_Cannibal (4269points) February 14th, 2013

If so, what do you think his cut should be?

If not, why don’t you think he deserves royalties?

No.
He should be in jail for product piracy and slavery.
Just think about the millions of toys he makes cheap knockoffs off, all while employing elven slaves at no pay.

No. The copyright has run out. He’s in the public domain.

ragingloli's avatar

Nonsense. He copies toys that are brand new and have just come out.
He is worse than China.

He died many centuries ago. His memory is indeed public domain.

Um, you should know that the whole mission statement of Claus Inc is to give stuff away. That includes any licensing…..

Ironically, the real Santa has been running an arms manufacturing company for close to two centuries now.

Yes. He should be paid in foil wrapped chocolate coins.
