Disney is NOT losing the Mickey Mouse TRADEMARK, they are losing the COPYRIGHT. Big difference. The Trademark will live forever
True but the content was correct. Remember, it's usually unpaid interns who write the You Tube Titles.
@@omi_god A trademark is a type of intellectual property consisting of a recognizable sign, design, or expression that identifies a product or service from a particular source and distinguishes it from others. There's an important caveat. The public domain image is specifically the _Steamboat Willie_ version of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, not the more familiar renditions of the characters that followed. "You cannot use the characters in a way that misleads consumers into thinking that Disney has produced or sponsored your product," says Jennifer Jenkins teaches of Duke Law School. So you cannot use the image of Mickey Mouse to brand a mouse trap that you've invented.
I wish I knew when to stop being interested in movies!!!!!!
@@omi_god Her statement may not have been challenged in a court of law. However, as someone who specializes in intellectual property law, she is more credible than a layperson.
I didn't want to go overboard with television and movies, I just wanted to watch cartoons for fun!!!!!!
Every law we've passed that expanded the copyright of works published before such acts were passed are illegal. They all need to be repealed.
Disney helped ruin copyright by extending it multiple times throughout the century.
Easy to simplify for people still confused
Mickey and Minnie are still in Disney’s ownership but at least their earliest designs will be in the public domain meaning only stream boat willie’s designs for the characters can be able to be use in anything (but I’m pretty certain Disney will still try and sue you if you use Mickey’s and Minnie’s names in anything)
A Copyright protects the integrity of the work so it can be used over and over keeping the meaning and the purpose that made it great. Now it’s much easier with the internet and CZcams, but you should be creative enough, not just depend on someone else’s abilities. All the government is doing is encouraging plagiarism!
It's simple once you understand what's happening Mickey's trademark unless Disney chooses not to renew it that won't expire plus every year after Monday, it would every short released 95 years afterwards would be in the public domain. Like in 2025, his 1929 shorts will enter public domain 2026, his 1930 shorts ect.
Your "certain" makes no sense.
@supaiisu What about it don't you quite understand?
@@robertfouracre1280 Stop spamming this, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
The works of Bach and Mozart are public domain. If it were not for public domain, the estates of Bach and Mozart would have control of the works and they would be able to charge fees for the recording and/or performance of their work. Those fees will be passed onto the consumer. There will be no more free concerts. You will have to pay more for the admission price of a ticket to see a concert of their work. Records, CDs, and digital downloads of their work will be more expensive. There will be more paid advertisements on radio and streaming platforms to pay for the extra fees.
Not necessarily so, many Copyrights owners want to protect the integrity of the work so it can be used over and over keeping the meaning and the purpose that made it great. Now it’s much easier with the internet and CZcams, but you have to have your own creative not just depend on someone else’s abilities. All the government is doing is encouraging plagiarism!
We're off to see the wizard the wonderful wizard of Oz.
We are in 2035. Between 2026 and 2035, all the films released in the 1930s will enter the public domain in the USA.
@jdwrink that means King Kong will enter the public domain in 2033 as the original film will be released in 2033.
@@elmono6299 it will enter PD in 2029 not 2033.
Copyright doesn't and shouldn't last forever. Creativity often comes from what came before and the public domain ensures that tradition.

Yeah and despite what some people may think, this isn't a bad thing as even when we do get a horror movie featuring Mickey and Minnie Mouse, they'll be others who'll make more family friendly content with them, so those who don't like horror, can have something else involving them that's not Disney that they can enjoy too.
Who cares. Copyright us just a business. We all know copying is gonna happen, they just make it illegal for a short time but creativity cannot be denied for long 😂

Actually, Mickey first appeared in an earlier cartoon called Plane Crazy made in 1928 and test screened approximately 7 months before Steamboat Willie. However, Plane Crazy DID get re-released to the public AFTER Steamboat Willie as a sound cartoon (the original cartoon was unable to find a distributor.)
ACTUALLY... If you watch the video, the lady said Mickey appeared as "Mortimer Mouse" in "Plane Crazy" first. So, this was mentioned in this very video.
@@ahappyshow Huh, didn’t catch that. Thanks!
@@ahappyshow and she was wrong. He wasnt called mortimer
Coincidentally the Steamboat Willy Cannabis Company launches at midnight on NYE too...
I really hope disney+ doesn’t remove classic Disney channel shows
They won't.
I've been waiting for a live action Mickie Die Hard movie😅
Mickie: They said come to the party... have a few laughs...
You know 2024 Modern People Are Going To Create Hot Garbage With Him Now. Thats All They Every Do. Sad
The distinctive difference between the _Steamboat Willie_ version of Mickey Mouse and the current version is the eyes.
I think it’s just the name. Earlier versions had pie 🥧 eyes 👀.
And for that reason my adaptations is strictly based on the end screen rendering at 1:09
This will usher in a slew of court cases as Disney will sue for any infraction!

You shouldn't do anything without having a copyright attorney go through it first.
Disney got a lot of credit for Steamboat Willie in this video. No mention of Ub Iwerks. Although, that's nothing new.
I’m sure Disney will either lobby to get it back or just aggressively litigate anyone that tries to use it
No. This doesn't bother them that much. Disney is much bigger than it was in the late 1990s. Mickey Mouse is a small drop in the bucket of all their other intellectual property they also have such as Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, ABC, ESPN and Twentieth Century Fox.
@@NightFangClashExactly. Mickey hasn't been the heart of Disney in quite some time. I'm not sure even Disney themselves knows what their new "heart" is nowadays.
I mean honestly there’s a few punk bands using the 1920s Mickey Mouse for their albums.
Disney makes relevant movies that are box-office disasters. Thanks, genius professor
Reminds of that Simpsons episode where they sue the makers of itchy & scratchy & that bum gets all the money.
Its honestly both good and bad considering while going the public domain allows for more diverse and creative, I am a little concerned considering 2023 was rough for Disney in terms of financial and sure losing the copyright really stings a lot but if anything I am excited for what’s coming out in the future, it should be a big year for Lion King given it will be its 30th anniversary!!! 🤤🤭

@@robertfouracre1280 You know, a work and what is used isn't just "notrhing" or "the whole work," and that one can use elements from stories aht on their own as building blocks, right?
It’s only steamboat Willie version Disney hardly use him and they can still use him this only means that people can use him and the short will still be on Disney+
Mickey and Minnie are so nostalgic great characters now there gonna be in the public domain
they’re*
Anyone else thought this day would never come. I mean technically it hasn't happened just yet, but we may as well already be celebrating the original Mickey and Minnie's copyrights expiring as it's going to happen just at midnight tomorrow night.

Talking about this subject without mentioning anything about trademarks is completely disingenuous and misleading. I would hope the "legal experts" in this video discussed that aspect, even though we didn't see it here.
Yes, exactly, I want someone to explain how Disney could trademark "Snow White", a story in the public domain that they used as a basis for their first feature movie.
Steamboat Willy Rule 34 and there's nothing Disney can do about it.
Yeah, and you could literally sell it and make money.
That sounds as boring as a Winnie the Pooh slasher movie.
@@boycott2720 Would have been more entertaining if it was a Rule 34 slasher I presume.
@@fordtruckman80 Ewwww
Sounds like it’s time for an Air Pirates Funnies sequel.
I wish, but even if that ever gets made, the original guy who made the first one won't be doing it. He got charged for copyright infringement and in exchange for not serving jail time and paying any fines, he legally can't draw Mickey Mouse again.
Payback time for Disney ruining all our favorite stuff. Game on.
Finally!
My Steamboat Willie fur-rotica will finally be allowed to be enjoyed be the masses without the House of Mouse needlessly sending me to court over it.
This'll be sure to steam y'alls willies, ifyaknowwhatimsayin 😉
@@omi_god To clarify, I was joking.
And to address what you're referring to, sure people may have been dressing up as bootleg Mickey at tourist traps or using said copyrighted Disney characters without permission but that doesn't mean it was legal to do so. People can and often do get sued for painting their daycare center with Mickey and Minnie or selling trinkets on etsy with Goofy or Donald.
What is entering the public domain tomorrow specifically is the 1920s Mickey Mouse from the black n white "rubber hose" animation era featured in the Steamboat Willie cartoon. Nothing else. Well not for a few more years.
I misread this *horribly* and thought you were plotting to make a Steamboat Willy furry suit to film erotica in 😭
@@NeroMaiSAME LMAO
Disney isn’t losing anyone especially Mickey Mouse it’s their trademark forever

Not in another century
Daisy 🌼 I’d like to see the first sketches of her !
I've always admired Walt Disney, I hope they don't remove Mickey Mouse trademark.
Can't wait to see the horror variations of Mickey Mouse lol.
I wasn’t aware about the situation at first.
I can understand all of you who don't want a horror version of Mickey Mouse now that the original versions of him and Minnie Mouse are entering the public domain next year. However, like it or not, this is how the copyright system works as it inspires creativity. Plus, ironically enough, Disney has been using the public domain for many years for many of their films that have helped make them famous and successful such as Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast, Aladdin, The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, Tangled, Frozen, etc. If not for the public domain all of the Disney versions of those works would probably not exist, so this is part of why the public domain is so important in the first place.

Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey wasn't creative. It was just a way to make money off a well established name by throwing it in the 'horror' film genre. One that is a garbage genre as far as I am concerned. Nor do I watch.
As for some fool to use Mickey and Minnie to do the same also shows no creativity.
They didn't create anything new. They just used a known name and slapped it in a different genre.
It would be like taking Freddy Krueger and slapping him a romance drama.
Its lazy. But lazy works for some people.
And yet Disney made all those movies based off of fairytales, which were already established works and people liked them. So, by your logic, those are lazy too and not creative then.
By the way, there's more being done with Winnie The Pooh now besides horror movies. Someone else has plans to make a prequel series for Pooh that's family friendly, so there's something for everyone.
@@eds7343 lazy but that won't be end of it, there will be more interesting and creative stories about winnie the pooh in some time.
Shoulda been lost years ago. We all gotta follow the rules
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Both
Its a good thing
It just means that if you put Steam Boat Willie on a Tee Shirt and sell it, Disney can't sue you. With later Mickey's they still can.
If you want my opinion, it’s bad.
Always a good thing. All work is built off of what came before.
Didn't that Lessing guy run for president?
02:25 forrest gump
3:00 imagine what could happen on Monday...
The desperate attempt to scare us away from tainting the Disney name 😂 we will use Mickey as we see fit thanks 💃
What about the name Mickey Mouse??
Is that public domain?
Nope.
Disney has made enough money on this IP. That’s enough.
Agreed. Personally, it would be cool to see Mickey fight a public domain figure like Dracula or team up with Sherlock Holmes to solve mysteries.
I love hearing Disney losing anything 😂
With how sick I am of all the woke trash Disney keeps putting out these days, I'm all for this.
Mickey Mouse will replace Jigsaw 😢
What? Mickey will join paramount then
Or at the very least, South Park will decide to take advantage of this to make fun of Disney. It's no secret that they like doing that.
Im sure we will see some horror movies like they did with Winnie the Pooh 😊
It will be crazy stuff going on now.
Copyright shouldn't last as long as it does, I think 50 years should be the limit.... nearly a hundred is obscene.
I couldn't agree more. 95 years is too long and this length of time has not only deprived generations of being able to access and use many great and famous works, but has also resulted in many lesser known or obscure works becoming lost!
Not to creative people who make a living off of it or spend good money to preserve it for future generations.

@@robertfouracre1280 Spamming BS over and over doesn't make it "not BS."
The copyright for Mickey Mouse has been extended multiple times in the United States due to changes in copyright law. The character remains under copyright protection, and it is owned by The Walt Disney Company.
However, it's important to note that copyright laws can differ between countries, and there may be specific circumstances or exceptions that could affect the copyright status of certain works. To obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding copyright expiration, it's advisable to consult legal resources or news outlets that specialize in copyright law.
2:45 WTF WTF WTF WTF AAAAAh!
I didn’t realize copyrights expired. Interesting.
Family guy is getting ready to have a blast with this lol
RW:i have a very bad feeling about this for years to come 😔
Clock strikes 00:00 tonight I am dropping Mickey Mouse & LeDaruis, it will be set in the Bronx
Another movie that could enter the public domain soon is the 1931 version of Dracula.
Took almost a 100 years.
Yeah. Which is way too long.
steel cleaver willie coming soon
China- whats a copyright? As far as I am concerned is that if its out there its already public domain
Let’s celebrate! I feel like liver and onions! **licks lips**
Nooooooo
“Where’s Shelley, Mickey?”
Good 👍
So only the only thing we can use is the earliest versions...
Yes. At least until even more and newer versions of Mickey and Minnie Mouse lose their copyrights too in the coming years.
Mickeychu is now cannon
Wow 😮
Wow is right! 2024 is going to be quite a year for the copyright community and the public as a whole!
I went overboard!!!!!
Ok so basically nothing will change, because Mickey’s likeness has been used and reproduced/counterfeited for years lol
All I can say is, the memes are going to be amazing
the Wennie the Pooh jumps care got me.
They'll muck it up.
I don’t want our dream to fade! There is no way someone will take away our dream! I will not give up the magic and dreams! Not even the copyright!
RW:I don’t feel comfortable about this 😰
I'm hoping Matt and Trey makes Steamboat Mickey Mouse as a regular Character in their South Park Specials.
I was thinking the same thing. There's no way they'll be able to resist making fun of Mickey Mouse and Disney again like they have been doing for awhile now after the original copyright on Mickey and Minnie Mouse from Steamboat Willie expires.
I want to time travel!!!!!!
I see why they have copyrights because people can’t wait to copy Kat off people’s original hard work.
Like in Barbie: Ideas live forever
RW:i dont believe it😨
good
Alright everyone….get ready now for someone to make a Steamboat Willie horror parody 🤦♂️
Whats up with the dress

Just so happens to coincide with the first time in history that their brand is worthless.

Over my dead body!
Honestly, all superheroes should be public domain. Especially since there’s so many different opinions on how they should be handled and different stories to tell, the corporations are robbing so many opportunities for storytellers to tell their version of many iconic characters like Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Hulk, Wolverine, etc.
Those are called the Greek Gods
@@Justin_Beaver564 huh? Who out of anyone i mentioned are greek gods?
@@azaafran03 The Greek Gods are an example of super heroes without copyrights. They're the old school super heroes.
The original comics creators should not lose their ability to be recompensed.
That’s why people create their own projects and with the internet and CZcams it can be done much easier. Then it’s yours and you can do with it as you please. Not to be taken away from you by the government and some hack be allowed to destroy it!

CBS, please stop the banter after each story.
Can you imagine Walt Disney reaction when see this if he's still alive? 😢
Walt should have expected it. The only reason he was able to make the Snow White movie was because that story had also passed into the public domain.
What she didn’t mention is Kermit the frog 🐸
Wow n/ I’m just now realizing tht the only person in tht group to get a genuine theatrical movie wuz Goofy and not Mickey some how😂
Who owns Mickey Mouse?
It's all duck soup to me.....
Jo Ling Kent formerly at NBC now CBS. How about a hop over to NHK? She could be their San Francisco correspondent and sometime occasionally in a safer place!
What Disney should’ve done is make steamboat Willie reboot in color in 1930s
With the Snow white controversy, bad star wars movies and mcu going down hill and all the woke nonsense, top it all off with Disney losing Mickey. Things arent looking good for disney
To focus on modern social activism, Mickey is largely reduced to being a pair of novelty ears sold at the theme parks anyway
