• Explaining Disney's use of law to maintain control

    From Adam H. Kerman@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 18 08:45:27 2025
    The copyright on Steamboat Willy has expired. Disney is using trdemark
    law to maintain control of Micky Mouse, but it's use is untested. It's
    also an open question whether modern Micky Mouse is derivative or
    creative enough to be subject to its own restrictions on use of the
    character.
