MICKEY'S COPYRIGHT ENDS IN 2024. NOW WHAT?

Today’s WTCupcake 🙀🧁🚫 moment is courtesy of the Observer. 

On January 1, 2024, the 1928 Steamboat Willie version of Mickey Mouse will fall into public domain. 

WTCupcake?! 🙀🧁🚫

What does this even mean? 

Primarily this means that Disney’s prolonged copyright protection of the steamboat Willie version of Micky Mouse expires in 2024.

Does this mean you can screen print the steam boat Willie image onto your line of T-shirts?

Maybe or Maybe not.
