  Disney ran out of bribe lobbying money?

    No. The specific depictions going into pd are very narrowly focused.

      Then why did they bother extending copyright in the 90s?

  This YouTube video show some screenplay from Mouse, an upcoming noir based FPS game. The game will take full advantage of the public's right to reuse1920s era cartoons, particularly Steam Boat Willy, in new and innovative ways.

    Nothing in this would be a copyright violation of Disney.

  I didn’t know Winnie the Pooh was already public domain and that there is a horror movie about him made already? I got to watch that

    It’s got a 3% on rotten tomatoes, I’m intrigued about how bad it is

      It’s pretty bad, and not in a ‘so bad it’s good’ kinda way… It’s just bad

      I read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia and I still want a refund.

      It is unwatchable. Down there with Rob Zombie’s Munsters movie. Don’t do it.

      It’s worth watching once if you grew up with Winnie

    It’s honestly a good laugh while saying “what the fuck am I watching” they’re working on the second one which introduces Tigger. Don’t go into it with high expectations go into it knowing they’re doing it for fun and flipping off disney.

  I think it was MatPat on YouTube who said that Disney knows this and included that specific Mickey in their trademark as a way to protect it under different laws.

  • Dangdoggo@kbin.social ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Exactly right. They are attempting to incorporate it into their actual branding iconography so that they can argue it's trademark.

    Jokes on Disney, I’m making my porno about Captain Pete, who drives his steamboat down the river, picking up floozies and spitting tobacco up their butts.

    (We are all making porn right? That’s the plan.)

    Yup! Copyright and trademark are different things and Disney lawyers have already insulated the company. Yes it will technically enter public domain, but nothing will actually change.

  • Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I actually think this is a good way to do things, the original work becomes public domain and can be freely reproduced, but people can’t, for example, make NSFW versions of the work.

    Or just a conga line of shitty Sherlock Holmes adaptations.

  Remember Sega’s old racing game Daytona near the 2000’s

  TIME EXTENSION!

  Aren't they just gonna ask to have the copyrights extended again?
