It's almost New Year, and in just a few hours Steamboat Willie will enter the public domain: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/disney-to-lose-copyright-of-early-version-of-mickey-mouse/ar-AA1mfxRH
Steamboat Willie was originally going to enter PD in 2004, but Disney got passed the "Mickey Mouse Protection Act" in 1998 to stop that from happening. They extended the length by 20 years, and it is now 20 years later, so Disney is finally forced to swallow what it chewed.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, I present to you "Copying is Not Theft" by @nina :
