    In this article found on Forbes magazine website the article discusses the continuous extension of copyright terms. In specific it highlights how disney used its influence on members of congress to keep extending copyright term therefore disney material could never be used by other authors or film makers. It is ironic owing to the fact that a large number of works created by disney were based on stories in the public domain.

      While crowdsourcing is all the rage this days, ranging anywhere from film making (seeking funding on pirate websites) to video game funding, yet not so long ago crowdsourcing was a new concept. This article is one of more early examples of such funding in its infancy.  Article dates from 2009. Please note that such examples that are covered in this article geared towards financing funding as opposed to innovation and idea funding. In first article out of five we will look at early stages, in following article climax of financial/social success will be covered with ultimately looking on last two articles how such crowdsourcing ideas have failed and succeeded.
