It's a testament to how large media interests have totally dominated our copyright system that people are so excited about this completely worthless, 100 year old, antiquated garbage being released into the public domain is considered a big deal. The entire Disney canon would be in the public domain if the duration of copyright hadn't been extended again and again and again and again. It is 95 (up to 120) years after creation or the death of the author plus 70 years. This is absolutely absurd and serves no public interest. It only serves to benefit huge media companies that have purchased our entire shared heritage's back-catalog and survive largely by leasing it back to us over and over and over.
