Fire Up Your Silk Screen: Mickey Mouse Might Be in the Public Domain

2008-09-07T18:20:00.001-07:00

The title card that started this whole thing.Copyright Disney Enterprises.
OR IS IT?!?!?!?!?!?

For a long, long time, the holy grail of copyright has been Mickey Mouse. In 1998, as Disney's copyright in the character was about to lapse, the company furiously lobbied Congress to extend copyright protection � which they did, with the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act (or, as it's called by opponents, the Mickey Mouse Act), which pushed Mickey's entry into the public domain back another twenty years.

But now legal scholars � acting on a discovery by a disgruntled ex-Disney archivist � are arguing that the copyright on the first Mickey Mouse cartoon, Steamboat Willie, might be null and void owing to sloppiness in that film's title card.

Disney, of course of study, doesn't think this is nearly as hilarious as we do, denying repeatedly that there's any uncertainty about Mickey's copyright � and fifty-fifty threatening one curious law student with a calumny suit if he published his research. All in all, it's a pretty damning guinea pig that Mickey � or at least 1939 Mickey with his ugly, ratlike face � is free and clear up. Who's ready to see Mickey Mouse T-shirts in porny American Apparel ads?
