Disney will lose the copyright to the original Mickey Mouse in 2024

 

Mickey Mouse in 2024


In 1928, Walt Disney's Hollywood Studio was close to bankruptcy and was plagued by loans and contracts that had failed. Amazingly, it only took the click of a mouse it around. Disney's very first version of its most well-known animated character is known by the name of Steamboat Willie thanks to his part in a short film that was named the same and, Today, however everyone knows his name: Mickey Mouse. When 2024 rolls around the copyright protection that was granted to the original adventure will expire in 2024, allowing the character into the domain of public. (Later version of Mickey will be in the public domain until their copyrights are expired.)

Steamboat Willie hit screens on November 18th, 1928. It made history in entertainment as the first animated film to utilize fully audio that was synchronized (most films at the time, animated and not had silent). Walt Disney, burned from previous disputes over intellectual property rights, copyrighted the character at a point that U.S. copyright law protected the character for a period duration of. However, around the original date of expiration it was discovered that the Walt Disney Company lobbied for extended coverageand remained in control for longer because of copyright laws like Copyright Act of 1976 and 1998's Copyright Term Extension Act (often known as"the Mickey Mouse Protection Act).

The dissolution of Disney's copyright on Steamboat Willie's copyright Steamboat Willie star could cause a lot of confusion for brands, artists and other parties who want to make use of the character. This is because Disney might retain rights to its first mouse due to trademarks (which unlike copyrights may last forever), potentially creating conflicts regarding fair usage. However, it may also cause a wave of imaginative remixes that revive the character's 95 years of existence -- something that public domain advocates claim helps to revive forgotten works and builds on culture history.
