@textfiles And indeed, Disney is still perfectly free to use the (original) Mickey Mouse character if it wants. The only difference is that the rest of us are now, too.

@textfiles how so? I'm a bit vague on the details? Is this because Disney extended the life time of their copyright or what?

@textfiles And do you know what's worse? Disney will still "own" Mickey Mouse after this. Did you notice that the Walt Disney Animation Studios intro now is just a snippet of the original Steamboat Willie animation? That's on purpose, since trademarks don't expire like copyright (basically as long as they renew it), they can technically still own the original Mickey Mouse even after 2024, just take down anything that uses it as "violations of trademark". At least that's what I understood.

@textfiles always sad to see we're too far gone with corporate propaganda to remember that the end of a copyright term is as important to copyright law as the temporary monopoly granted by it; the whole point of public domain is to celebrate and formalize a work's status as a shared cultural artifact. That's kind of what Mickey Mouse is these days, isn't it?

@deavmi @textfiles CBS is framing it like Disney lost some sort of battle and there is an implied injustice in this happening. The truth of the matter is the "Mickey Mouse" copyright laws have been hand crafted by Disney to artificially increase their market dominance when copyright was never supposed to last that long in the first place.

@textfiles The thing is, Disney has closing to Mickey for so long that I'm sure many children would be surprised to find out he was in cartoons. He's just this mascot/branding figure.By constantly extending the copyright, they've buried their own content.

@deavmi @textfiles According to the Internet, around 1909 there was a revision to the copyright laws that made the base term 28 years, with a 28 year extension available. Since then, well, it's gotten rather messy. Now it's the lifetime of the author plus 70 years.

@textfiles To be fair, it was my understanding that Disney, although they certainly lobbied in favor of the extended copyright laws, they were not the main drivers of the law.It is, however, sad and counter productive that it now takes a century to have a work come into the public domain. Most works of that age no longer have much cultural pull and only get viewed by very few and derivative works are not exactly going to set the world on fire.I am thinking that what we need at this point is an effective orphan works law. There must be millions of books, records, films, etc. where the copyright was held by companies (or perhaps, sadly, individuals) that are now gone and have no successor. Those works are much more recent and may in fact be more interesting to remix. If such works could be "CopyLefted" in some way, this might open some very interesting avenues.

@textfiles Yes, the framing strongly implies something was illegitimately taken from Disney. In fact, Disney has been the principal beneficiary of Congress's supine willingness to frequently extend copyright protections to a very profitable cultural icon.But how, pray tell, is a "human" century different from a century?

@textfiles the video itself is decent, given its origins in a major media corporation. They’re mentioning that (1) Mickey from Steamboat Willie is ending up in public domain where others may benefit the way Disney benefitted from repurposing public domain fairy tales or books, (2) they even give a caveat on how only Steamboat Willie version is going into public domain.Not that I ever understood how a character can be copyrighted rather than trademarked. Steamboat Willie, sure. But I never understood what “protection” for that film has to do with protection for the character.
