Sure! That's what "good copyright" is for. But at some point Pooh/Mickey/etc become part of the public domain. That currently takes longer that I think is necessary to pay the artists, and largely in place to pay shareholder dividends of the big corps owing the intellectual property (IP).
It in then my artistic freedom to equate IP with culture and consider the really long expiry times "holding ransom".
