So I guess it's time for Disney to bribe some people to extend copyright laws again.
William Mitchell
It's just Steamboat Willy that'll be public domain from what I recall
Jaxson Bailey
Never, you mean.
Anthony Cooper
Disney will pull a Jew move to Jeep it from happening just like they always do.
Gavin Watson
Mickey himself is a trademark, he'll never be public domain.
Bentley Campbell
Isn't current copyright Life+75years?
So since Disney died in 66 they still got a while.

This. The new Mickey Mouse is being pushed so aggressively because in time, Disney is going to lose the battle, and day by day, more and more Mickey Mouse shorts will fall into the public domain, and the company won't want to associate themselves with said shorts outside of historical context. The new Mickey Mouse is a full blown replacement that will ensure the company that they have -a- Mickey Mouse to legally own for nearly 100 more years.
John Harris
This cartoon is at least in the Public Domain.
Cooper Gray
Why doesn't Disney realize that Steamboat Willie being public domain won't make them lose the rights to Mickey Mouse? As long as they keep making stuff with him, they still own the trademark.
Elijah Campbell
Perhaps it's in the will of Walt Disney himself.

Andrew Carter
Let he who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty six
Connor Flores
If this is true, they're doing a good job. I like this new Mickey.
Dominic Parker
So wait.
Within the next 30 years "The Fuehrer's Face" will be public domain?
I can finally make the sequel set in Ausschwitz?

And Sonny is now in Hell. :^)
Jordan Fisher

>implying Disney isn't going to continue lobbying until the snooze button is extended indefinitely
Not even fucking Fu-Manchu is 100% Public Domain yet because of their bullshit. There is no hope
