With several asterisks, qualification and caveats, Mickey Mouse in his earliest form will be the leader of the band of characters, films and books that will become public domain in 2024.

      No. The specific depictions going into pd are very narrowly focused.

          Christopher Robin, what exactly is “Rule 34”?

          Well, I’m told it means, “Going along, jerking to all the things you can conceive of, and not bothering.”

        Then why did they bother extending copyright in the 90s?

          They can’t keep extending it indefinitely.

            The stopping point is completely arbitrary. You could’ve also said the same about the 90s copyright extension.
