This iconic mouse is weeks away fromn being in the public domain Jan. 1, 2024, is the day when ‘Steamboat Willie’ enters the public domain
(sigh) Just a little bit longer and I’ll finally be able to release my Steamboat Willy tentacle hentai comic.
Where do I sign up
If Disney doesn’t keep illegally extending the copyright dates, continuing to ruin the way copyrights are supposed to actually work, I will legitimately be surprised.
It’s not illegal if you change the laws… 🙃
But if you change the laws via illegal means…
I’m pretty sure that Congress passing legislation concerning interstate trade is expressly permitted in the Constitution. You could make an argument for ethics, practicality, or economics. I don’t think you can make a legality argument here.
Even if they wanted, there is not much time left to change anything at this point

Donald Duck’s copyright expires in 2029 and we’ll finally be able to walk around pantsless in a sailor hat/shirt without being harassed by Walt Disney’s widow.
Stop, I can only get so erect:

EXPECT legislative-shenanigans, people…
EITHER they’ll extend copyright again,
XOR they’ll just “conveniently” have copyright apply in court, even-though it doesn’t apply on-paper.
Never believe a career-criminal, or Dark Triad entity, has changed, unless you see robust, consistent, years-long, actual, objective proof of that change having-happened.
Extraordinary-claims require extraordinary backing/evidence.

I’m shocked no legislation has been created to increase copyright even longer, but I guess there’s still time. Maybe with non-disney mickey mouse works out there, their lawyers will argue that it is damaging and thus a new law should be passed retroactively.
I guarantee that on January 1st there will be a ton of Mickey videos on the internet and it will be glorious
I didn’t see here the obvious answer: never.
Over Walt’s cold dead body.
…
uhhhhh… wait, hang on I didn’t mean that
Now I can finally colorize the one cartoon that counts.
When I say so.
