For anyone curious how the “Mickey Mouse in public domain thing” is playing out in practice, my pal @JefCaine just got his Mickey shirt on @TeePublic slapped with a takedown notice from Disney:
@JJ_McCullough @JefCaine @TeePublic Steamboat Willie is public domain. This shirt is clearly Mickey Mouse.
@OntarioYIMBY @JefCaine @TeePublic There is no such thing as “Steamboat Willie.” That was the name of a Mickey Mouse cartoon.
@JJ_McCullough @JefCaine @TeePublic Clear differences in character design.
@OntarioYIMBY @JJ_McCullough @JefCaine @TeePublic No there isn't, please stop talking about things. You're an embarrassment to my province because you're completely unable to use google.
@CptWhatsHisName @JJ_McCullough @JefCaine @TeePublic Chill out Captain spaz
@OntarioYIMBY @JJ_McCullough @JefCaine @TeePublic replying a third time instead of just using google. damn the TDSB and it's equivalents are getting embarrassing.
