#Copyright for original #MickeyMouse persona to run out 1 January #2024 | #WaltDisney Company | The Guardian

It should have run out decades ago. The length of copyright is ridiculous. It's not there to protect artists, which would be a good use of it, rather it is used to maintain the monopoly of large corporations like #Disney itself.
