Empyre Posted July 11, 2017 I don't know all the details, but I think that even when Micky Mouse is no longer copyrighted, he might still be a trademark. 0 Share this post Link to post
everennui Posted July 11, 2017 Hmmm... I guess I don't know very much about it at all, but read an article and felt a little outraged. It's a very interesting topic. 1 Share this post Link to post
geo Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) "An official." Disney legal has been fighting to turn this around. They are Disney. The law is lucky Disney wants to be lawful. 1 Share this post Link to post

NeedHealth Posted July 12, 2017 The copyright protection act is informally known as the mickey mouse protection act for a reason. It will probably be extended, mark my words. 1 Share this post Link to post

DoctorGenesis Posted July 12, 2017 Felix the Cat is supposed to be in public domain by 2019, but Dreamworks recently purchased the IP so.... 1 Share this post Link to post
Varis Alpha Posted July 12, 2017 well i mean, there's a Disney Doom wad where you can kill Mickey Mouse in it. 0 Share this post Link to post
NeedHealth Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) I can not verify this but I read in some other place that Disney is required to shoot down every slight infringement on their IPs if they want to keep them. I do not know if this has always been the case but if it hasn't been, it is a slight victory I suppose - forcing them to spend money. :p 1 Share this post Link to post
