It is especially ironic that Disney led the fight for this legislation as so much of their legacy is built on utilizing characters that have fallen into public domain (Snow White, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Little Mermaid, Aladdin, etc.).

  
That's the same irony I sense when I hear Alan Moore blasting people as uncreative hacks for wanting to use The Watchmen or other characters he created in new stories, while he publishes League of Extraordinary Gentlemen books.

So your senses are wrong The LOEG books use public domain characters and what's more, do so in a creative way, fashioning its own distinctive mythology.
Moore doesn't blast creative people, he blasts the corporate mentality. It's more than a fine distinction, it's at the heart of all these debates.
