![]() ![]() Personally, I think that’s a myth that makes despair too easy. Some public domain fans will tell you that Disney had been responsible for preventing valuable characters like Mickey Mouse from entering the public domain for decades, and that they’ll force more copyright extensions through before his copyright is scheduled to expire in a few years. I’ve sometimes heard cynicism expressed that this would ever happen. ![]() This coming January 1, we’ll have the second large expiration of copyrights in the US since 1998 (the first being the most recent January 1). I mentioned in my previous post that I was looking forward to works entering the public domain in the US as a routine annual event. ![]()
