| I was actually extremely surprised that Disney didn't bribe congress and stop Mickey Mouse from ending up in the public domain. |

| ▲ | _trampeltier 39 minutes ago | parent [-] | | They did. Before it was 50 years and get extended several times just before Mickey would enter public domain. | | |
| ▲ | culi 29 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Yeah they've done a lobbying campaign about a dozen times when Mickey was set to enter public domain. I think GP was saying they're surprised they didn't do a 13th time. Like why give up now? | | |
| ▲ | prmoustache 22 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Because in reality it hasn't entered public domain completely, only the very first movies and the way it was drawn in the 1930's. They are still protecting the one most people all know better. |
