    I still think if enough people who are Disney fans will get in touch with their members of Congress and raise a stink. That Congress would have a bill that would protect and keep Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald Duck, Pluto, Daisy Duck, Chip and Dale with Disney for all time !!

    1. This is awesomely tragic. I can finally do what I want with him! But we are a HUGE Disney family. We even put Mickey on top of our tree! Disney losing the rights to Mickey would be, like i said before, awesomely tragic.

        Sad what Disney has become, Walt is turning in his grave.

          What Disney has become, Jim? This is something that Disney has no control over. What would you have them do? Storm the Congress because they didn’t like the law? Oh wait…

    2. Denise

      I don’t think that would happen. It’s become politically and culturally attractive for one political party to use Disney as a scapegoat for their own selfish purposes. And they would uphold any restriction possible on the company that would make it look like they were holding the line against that magical “woke” ideology that they love to lie about.

        Disney drew first blood, friend. They attacked first.

          Oh friend. If you say so. Just wait until you learn about corporate lobbying and how it’s okay for a business to be in politics as long as they’re funding the little men who cry when they can’t get their way.

          If the governor is so powerful and righteous ,why was he sufficiently afraid of the Mouse to react so childishly?

      Disney (the company) has already lost their minds, why not their symbol. They’re up set that Mickey will be messed with just like they messed with Star Wars characters.

      I believe that Disney should be able to keep all their characters to themselves for all time for. because they created these characters.

      Congress can’t even get regular business taken care of. And as their friend Desantis is fight Disney they wont interfere in his attacks on Disney. Sad

    They let the rights to Steamboat Willy version go. I just don’t understand why.

    1. User

      They’ve been rewriting copyright law for decades, so hardly let the protections go.

      Also, it’s a bad take that Disney is losing rights, everybody is finally gaining rights. It’s not zero sum.

      1. Daryl-Rhys

        People can’t be trusted with those rights.

    Disney can’t lose their rights to Mickey or his friends!

  4. Alex S.

    Copyright law only lasts for 95 years
    But maybe they trademark the characters for Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse but you knows

    Some people say this is “trajic” but they have it all wrong. There is no benefit to “we the people” if our culture is owned and controlled by corporations forever! The early version of mickey mouse entering the public domain is an awesome development and long overdue.

  7. Mickey Mouse is iconic figure to children and adults everywhere. Cant you stop this and keep him under Disney where Walt would want him.
