How do you feel about intellectual property rights? (sounds random I know)

I had a teacher once tell us that Mickey Mouse will never enter the public domain. Disney has too much to lose, so they push intellectual property rights farther and farther past the creators death. (Currently its creators lifetime + 70 years)

Is there a greater good in allowing intellectual property into the public domain, or is the artist really being protected by these rights (in your opinion, obviously)?

I'm curious how much customization is allowable.

For example, let's say I wanted the 4-eyelet ranger moc in light brown Buckaroo, but I wanted the sole you include with the green cordovan ranger mocs....

what kind of ballpark estimates would something like that entail above the normally listed retail price?
