Disney has trademarked the phrase "Snow White".

I don't know anyfuckingthing about trademark, but I get the distinct impression that now I am not allowed to publish a story entitled "Snow White", even if it is a retelling of the public fucking domain story "Snow White".

I think there should be some sort of licensing set up, but not the way it is now, where the licensor gets to decide who can and can't play in their world, but more like cover bands playing someone else's song. That way, the original artist get paid for their work being used, but it isn't so restrictive and limiting.

That is an excellent idea. Maybe the originator would get a certain amount of the royalties?

There was a writer who said, when another writer was having a meltdown over fanfic (paraphrase): "I am not a precious sparkly unicorn. I am a big scary dragon guarding its hoard. Try to take the dragon's gold and the dragon will be angry. Bring the dragon gold and the dragon shall be pleased."
