Mickey Mouse will enter the public domain on Jan. 1, marking a milestone in the copyright wars for those fighting to ease restrictions on vintage IP.

    Kind of a clickbaity headline, especially for Variety. That specific “Steamboat Willie” Mickey Mouse, sans gloves and pupils-only, is due to go PD (as if you all didn’t know this anyway). And don’t think the name is copyright-free either.

    In any case, who cares? Go, go, Air Pirates! Visit the Disneyland Memorial Orgy!
