There are millions of pieces of intellectual property out there that must abide by the prescience that Disney set with their "Mickey law". This means movies, books, and art are being held under copyright because Disney keeps arguing the law's extension. Seriously, I don't care about Mickey Mouse. The only people that do are the ones that intend to make money off of the character. I'm much more interested in accessing locked-away content that can actually educate the public of our history.
