Freeeeeee At Last!!!
As of today Mickey Mouse is in the Public Domain!
I realize all you super smarty smart boys are rushing to your keyboards to explain in Gamma autistic detail that it’s only the very first iteration of Mickey who has made it over the wall. And thanks to Disney using the opening notes of Steamboat Willie as a movie opener for the past fifteen years, that iteration is throughly trademarked.
Bugger off!
The fact that Disney wasn’t able to prevent any part of Mickey Mouse going into the Public Domain is a win.
The Walt Disney Company was unable to change copyright law to its own benefit again.
