The irony is that STEAMBOAT WILLIE is most likely already in the public domain due to the way the original copyright was accredited.  However, no one (yet) is willing to risk the wrath of the Disney lawyers to give it a test (Disney even threatened to sue the law students who recently proved this as part of a college class).


I am shocked, SHOCKED!! that the law is different for the rich and powerful corporations than the rest of us.
