Public Domain's Number One Enemy = Mickey Mouse. Until there is some way to protect Disney and not have its IP placed in public domain we will never have nice things again in the public domain.
- JustSomeNobody 11y agoBut ... this is wrong. Mickey should be in (or be headed towards) the public domain.
- baldfat 11y agoUntil there is a solution for Mickey Mouse the millions of dollars will keep everything behind copyright. We solve that one we will have Public Domain again.
- JustSomeNobody 11y agoWe solve that one and everyone follows Mickey's lead and nothing enters PD.
- drdeca 11y agoBoycott anything which uses Mickey mouse /at all/ , and which is produced/owned by an entity which has license to use Mickey mouse, or license to use it in that way? (So, not things that use Mickey mouse without getting license, but yes anything which licenses from Disney to use the littlest bit of the ears.) So, if a Disney toy has it on the packaging as a logo, don't buy it, or on a tag, or on a receipt etc. etc. (Provided that the use is not ip infringement) The goal being to make it so that using the micky mouse likeness in a licensed way does not increase income (ideally, reduces it), so there is no longer an incentive to "protect" the ip. So, kingdom hearts, Disneyland, most Disney toys, etc etc. Indefinitely.l
