delighted for this to pop up when i searched ‘public humanities.’

If I ever became unimaginably wealthy, my first act would be to purchase the rights to the Shrek franchise, including all associated media and ancillary intellectual properties, then immediately release the whole lot to the public domain. Not because I particularly enjoy Shrek as a character, but because such a popular character entering into the public domain would immediately become an omnipresent and inescapable cultural fixture, and it amuses me to imagine future anthropologists trying to figure out what the hell just happened.
