Comment on Disney backs down from 'Steamboat Willie' YouTube copyright claim

I actually didn’t expect Disney to respect public domain. Everyone 100% has the right to absolutely shit on them for strangling copyright law all these years, though.

I’m.honesrly pretty shocked they even let it go public domain at all.

They’ve already had the rules changed to extend their copyright multiple times. I think they ran out of excuses at this point like your coworker who’s missed work due to their grandma dying for the fourth time this year.

Also because the Congress that approved the extension were majority of Republicans both at senate and house.
Who would have guessed they would favor the multi billion corp rather than the public.
