Embed Notice

I find Mickey's entry into the public domain significant, but uninteresting, to be quite honest. Continuing to treat him as special and somehow still propertized by Disney is antithetical to open culture, and that seems to be most of the coverage.

This is why you shouldn't call it copyright "protection." Copyright restriction prevents you from expressing yourself within modern popular culture. You can always stand to respect copyright less. Stop making excuses for it.
