What a Mickey Mouse Anniversary...
So, today is Mickey Mouse's 75th anniversary - his first apprearance in the movies (Steamboat Willie) was 75 years ago this day.
Ironically, for all the bluster bloggers have made about the seemingly endless extension of copyrights - of which Mickey Mouse is the poster child - I haven't seen any comments on this.
Even Lessig is silent on this. Update: This is a mention of the event, sans any rant, posted a few days ago by Prof. Lessing
Strange. Critics of the copyright extension act (pushed through with the help of then-senator Sonny Bono) often refer to the legislation as the "Mickey Mouse Extension Act."
Maybe because Comdex is on, but strangely silent on the blogs regarding this (I think Mickey is still safe until ~2038, or something like that).
Odd.
