Creativity
Perhaps the greatest weaponry of the mind is creativity: How the imagination flies up in the skies.
To quote Einstein: "Imagination is more important than knowledge"
We now possess many tools to express our creativity. No longer are we limited to pens and papers, digital art and videography has advanced to a level which allow us to create 3D models, cinematic graphics and CGIs. Within the boundaries of the screen, anything is seemingly possible.
Creativity isn't just limited to self creation: It's also about self-interpretation. Parody, recreating a published work in the minds and vision of another, has longed been shunned upon by big corporations, intending to protect their intellectual properties and images. By limiting these parodies, corporations are limiting the potential of these works to capitalize and market themselves to a bigger audience. Take notes from Disney: Brook Banes wrote about the media giant's willingness to embrace parodies in his article "Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why?". The reason being is simple: Parodies introduce these established characters to a new audience who might have not been interested in them beforehand.
Limiting creativity is akin to limiting ones potential.
