Today, the animation figure Mickey Mouse finally was released from +the corporate copyright prison, as the 1928 movie +Steamboat +Willie entered the public domain in USA. This movie was the first +public appearance of Mickey Mouse. Sadly the figure is still on +probation, thanks to trademark laws and a the Disney corporations +powerful pack of lawyers, as described in the 2017 article +in "How +Mickey Mouse Evades the Public Domain" from Priceonomics. On the +positive side, the primary driver for repeated extentions of the +duration of copyright has been Disney thanks to Mickey Mouse and the +2028 movie, and as it now in the public domain I hope it will cause +less urge to extend the already unreasonable long copyright +duration.

+ +

The first book I published, the 2004 book "Free Culture" by Lawrence Lessig, +published 2015 in +English, +French and Norwegian Bokmål, touch on the story of Disney pushed +for extending the copyright duration in USA. It is a great book +explaining problems with the current copyright regime and why we need +Creative Commons movement, and I strongly recommend everyone to read +it.

+ +

This movie (with +IMDB ID tt0019422) +is now available from the Internet Archive. Two copies have been +uploaded so far, one uploaded +2015-11-04 +(torrent) +and the other +2023-01-01 +(torrent) - see +VLC +bittorrent plugin for streaming the video using the torrent link. +I am very happy to see +the +number of public domain movies increasing. I look forward to +when those are the majority. Perhaps it will reduce the urge of the +copyright industry to control its customers.

+ +

A more +comprehensive +list of works entering the public domain in 2024 is available from +the Public Domain Review.
