When Mickey’s copyright goes to the public domain in 2 years, I look forward to Disney doing absolutely no lobbying

Kevin Perjurer @KevinPerjurer When Mickey's copyright goes to the public domain in 2 years, I look forward to Disney doing absolutely no lobbying and going all in on inspiring lawmakers to grant them an extension through powerful entertainment content. 7:23 PM - Mar 7, 2022

I believe they’ve found a way to protect Mickey Mouse forever...

D Defunctland @Defunctland • Feb 23, 2020 Disney and Copyright. A fascinating and complicated topic. In 2024, Mickey Mouse will enter the public domain. Many believe Disney will fight for another copyright extension, but I don't believe they will. I believe they've found a way to protect Mickey Mouse forever... (1/10) 20 1907 Defunctland @Defunctland 3K ₁ Defunctland @Defunctland Feb 23, 2020 D In 1998, Disney (and others) fought for an extension to copyright law. This extended the previous extension from 1976, which stated works were protected for 75 years after publication. In 1998, it was extended to 95 years after publication, pushing Mickey's expiration to 2024. Q1 2 10 l 514 口口企 D So Disney could fight for another extension, and it would be just as disastrous to art and copyright law as before. However, they don't have to. I believe they have a strong contingency plan. Here's what would happen if Mickey enters the public domain. 2:17 PM. Feb 23, 2020
