Eh, I don't care a whit about Mickey Mouse. I do care about all of the post-1923 literature that is really hard to find because it is locked up under copyright, but not profitable enough to get reprinted by the rightsholders[1]. I'm also concerned about all of the film, television, audio, and software that is in similar copyright limbo. There's a lot of stuff out there that there simply is no legitimate way to get access to.
