WB's 1939's "Prest-O Change-O" short is in the public domain for decades now yet no one does anything with that version of "Happy Rabbit"
Disney also said that from now on they'll only be using the more "modern" versions of Mickey and would sue anyone who uses a version of Mickey that takes any influence from later media, meaning that if you want to use Mickey in anything you'll have to use the Mickey with white pants
People do not hate Bugs Bunny like they do Mickey Mouse, it's not the same.
It took me less than a minute to find out why this cartoon is in the public domain, and it has nothing to do with the character's copyright expiring
No u
>Has Oswald even been prostituted out?
Epic Mickey 2
I'd bang
Plane Crazy (1928) is also entering public domain and unlike Steamboat Willie who Disney discksuckers claim Disney can still own in part since they use the whistle scene as their logo in some movies, they can't actually say the same about Plane Crazy so if you wanna do anything with Mickey and test your luck use that short instead

>Steamboat Willie who Disney discksuckers claim Disney can still own in part since they use the whistle scene as their logo
That would be insanely tricky in court and I doubt it stands
Disney won't survive long enough to win that battle
>Disney won't survive long enough to win that battle
dying company that's hemorrhaging cash and is the subject of jokes; this is no longer 1995
>meaning that if you want to use Mickey in anything you'll have to use the Mickey with white pants
A lawyer talked about this and said that Disney does not own the concept of coloring bw drawings. Though you should probably avoid coloring his pants red, since that's just unnecessarily playing with fire.
Also
You're allowed to give him gloves, just not gloves 100% identical to the ones Disney gave him. Disney does not own the concept of wearing gloves.
This shit all got clarified when the Doyle estate were making moronic claims like nobody being allowed to give Sherlock Holmes any friends because he didn't have any in the pd stories, so Holmes being capable of friendship is a copyrighted concept. The judge told them to go frick themselves.
And some of those republican courts would frick them for the culture war shit if they tried to copyright portions of the character
>Beginning in 2022, lawmakers vowed to oppose any future attempt to extend the copyright term due to Disney's opposition of the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act (commonly referred to as the "Don't Say Gay" law). Legal experts noted that later versions of Mickey Mouse created after Steamboat Willie will remain copyrighted.
Lmao
>Don't Say Gay
What a silly nickname they came out with
100 years is plenty fricking enough.
Has Oswald even been prostituted out?
Yes there's a lot of porn with him
He was traded for Al Michaels, so yeah
How trick will it be to use Mickey? I guess Disney will try everything to sue people through technicalities, as in:
>you make something using Steamboat Willie Mickey
>but it just so happened that you unintentionally made something similar to later Mickey media (like a similar plot to some random latter short)
>Disney accuses you of plagiarizing that specific media and forces you to take down your stuff
>like a similar plot to some random latter short
Holy shit, now I wonder if Paul Radish's shorts were made specifically for this. Completely random shorts in a huge variety of scenarios, and a classic-looking style, they're the perfect material for Disney lawyers.
It won't work since Mickey has red pants in those shorts
1928 Mickey shorts were in black & white and he had no gloves so as long as you draw Mickey without gloves and with white pants you're fine
I wasn't talking about mickey itself, but the plot.
Like, of course you shouldn't be allowed to remake The Three Musketeers shot by shot but with black and white Mickey, but how far can something like this be stretched?
concepts aren't copyrightable
you could do a "mickey mouse in the three musketeers" short as long as anything it took from copyrighted mickey shorts was allowed under parody/fair use
I don't think they were thinking a decade ahead just for this since they have so much content with him already, though it doesn't hurt. Though a lot of content in older stuff has to be fair game given it originated from stuff that is PD
The trump card is going to be Disney's family friendly image is going to account for them having no right over anything that would be above a PG rating, and they can't argue that would be misconception with anything that does so as an official Disney product
I get the impression they're trying to move away from using Mickey as their face too much. Like, the Disney Plus browser icon is the letter D from the logo, not Mickey's ears like one would expect years ago.
I'll pound both you
Imagine if they were dressed all feminine?
Anything good came after Pooh becoming public domain?
Tigger is becoming public domain in 2024 too with the other Milne Pooh book, so now people can play around with all the stories.
That shitty horror movie and that's it
I am waiting
Nothing I know of.
Looks like a graphic novel is coming next year:

Neat
the public domain is garbage. some moronic anon doesn't know better than Disney with Mickey
Anon you post the short modern Disney despises for having any stakes and has openly banned from ever being rereleased
and?
I trust Disney making something they hate more than you with Mickey, homosexual.
And you're a midwit
Porn upcoming
Can somebody like go back to court and lower the amount of time needed for public domain access? Disney basically rigged that shit and ruined it for everyone I don't think that's legal
>I don't think that's legal
They're too powerful to be held accountable, and I don't think the other media giants would allow it either.
It wasn't just Disney that pushed for it, it was a lot of the Hollywood studios and even some heirs of some creators (read up on what George Gershwin's rights holders were saying in the late 90s)
That nobody in power in the 2010s was really up for doing another extension probably meant they all realized how much of a problem this extension really was
It's like the Metallica vs Napster thing, Practically every Musician that was losing money from Napster supported Metallica yet only Metallica got backlash
>Can somebody like go back to court and lower the amount of time needed for public domain access? Disney basically rigged that shit and ruined it for everyone I don't think that's legal
In theory but it can't apply retroactively so anything made in 1978 or later will still be copyrighted for 75 years if that was what the law was at the time.
With money they can do what they want.
you can't do it in court, it would have to be via act of congress
and then only down to 50 years (for films) without leaving the berne convention
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention
Josh Hawley introduced a bill that would return copyright to 56 years and done over a year back.
>Josh Hawley introduced a bill that would return copyright to 56 years and done over a year back.
That will be beneficial for new content going forward but unfortunately anything made in the last 45 years is still stuck with the post-1976 copyright setup. So like The Lion King will still be copyrighted until 2069 since that was what copyright terms were when it was released.
Disney's copyrights laws are so fricking evil
copyright terms for over 140 years were 28 years plus one 28 year renewal until it was extended to 75 years in the 1976 Copyright Act, to take effect two years after its enactment. this results in the odd situation that the original Star Wars will be PD in 2033 as it was created under the old 28+28 system while ESB and ROTJ were created after it was switched to 75 years so they will not be PD until the 2050s.
Considering how shit Disney is you think the courts would agree/allow that since they have spend the past 2 decades ruining the company. They should have no rights to the copyright of the old stuff since A they do not use and B the company is no longer Disney and keeps burning money. Allowing it to be public domain means people can create a legend of Americana and pride, whereis disney does not care at all and "disney" is ruining the IP's/companies with these 3D movies and israeli subversion.
They are losing a lot of power face and money I think someone should try going for it.
They might hate Disney but do they hate the other companies?
It seems like it though probably not to the extent of the Disney hatred
We sort of take it for granted that other companies are awful. Disney has that sanitized, family-friendly image they cultivated, so perhaps finding out that they're just as corrupt as everyone else feels like more of a betrayal.
It's estimated that under 10% of copyrighted works over 50 years old are still worth any monetary value to their owners.
>The wonderful thing is companies like Disney are doing great at making people hate them
In all fairness this isn't really Disney's fault. The government (the real source of the problem here) offered them wokebucks, they took it.
What happened to the posts?
not in the public domain
Michael Eisner had more respect for Disney's history and family-friendly image than Bob Iger but that also doesn't condone his moronic obsession with IP control and suing everyone.
That fricker Iger cares for nothing but his Marvel/Star Wars fetish. Where did Mickey, Donald, and friends even go?
not his fault either. nobody wanted cutesy anthro animals after 9/11.
>Where did Mickey, Donald, and friends even go?
>100th anversiery
>No Walt
>No micky
>Garbage anti white movie as the star for the year
>We care about Disney and its legacy *rubs hands*
All board members need to be shot most managment needs to be hung. The fact nothing happened with Micky this year is beyond subhuman subveriser and completely subhuman the chosen hate America and Americana. It doesnt matter how much money they burn they cook the books and the government will give them tens of billions of worst comes to worst. As 90% of said bailout money will go into the pockets of a few the rest to pump out more garbage.
To be fair by the time they got around to trying to frick with copyright laws Eisner had already kind of jumped the shark. He stayed at least 8 years past his useful sell date.
>We need to see companies get so abusive and corrupt that they attack and infuriate even politicians
Like that can happen when its legal to give them millions of dollars that will never be tax's
All of which were vehicles for distributing the wokebucks handed down in Obamacare and the Obama stimulus bill.
>He says, when the Winnie the Pooh horror movie and the Winnie the Pooh graphic novel uses the name Winnie the Pooh on the cover
Can't wait
That doesn’t mean you’ll ever be able to use Mickey for your own projects. Felix is 9 years older than him. Where do you think all the legally unlicensed Felix content is?
Nowhere yet because most people don't know Felix is public domain
Felix hasn't been popular in 90 years.
>нeт
You can absolutely use Felix if you want.
You just can't use the voice, the Bag of Magic Tricks, The Professor, Poindexter, or Master Cylinder. Nor can he do what he did in Baby Felix, the movie, or Twisted Tales. You know; the stuff people know Felix for who were born after Mickey Mouse existed.
You can just have a black cat named Felix who goes on adventures.
Dude Felix the Cat has never been that big of a deal. And version of him that is most stand out and famous, the one with the magic bag, that one is nowhere near close to having its copyright expired. And again Felix has never been that popular.
Of the old animal mascots only Mickey Mouse may get utilized but not because people think Mickey Mouse is grand most people want to do a slightly more official South Park Mickey Mouse meaning use Mickey to insult Disney.
The public domain does not work the way you think. The public domain holds worth in the sense of using properties that can become successful and profitable. And no one cares about Felix or Mickey Mouse. But I can totally see people caring about characters like Batman whenever enough of him becomes public domain.
I can't wait to see how the Fandom Wiki reacts. Some of those idiots are still holding out for some sort of last-minute save.
Kek that fandom wiki is the absolute worst shit with the absolute worst contributors
Wikipedia is less biased and autistic
Ha, I'm editing that out.
There's going to be SO MUCH PORN
