      When Germans forbid Poles for owning houses in Poznań during partitions era, one guy just put a house on wheels and moved it once a day a few meters so it would be mobile asset.
      We live by our own rules and you cannot change that with more rules.

If it's a real-life story then they can't control books, comics, or interviews. They cannot ban another film adaptation to be made, cannot stop people from monetizing their own experiences, etc. thus, these companies are not interested. This is also the reason they produce ex-novo animated stories once and again and again, even if they're trash, instead of trying to buy rights to already successful children's books: again, they want full control
