I am aware that the Mickey Mouse is going to be 75 years old soon. Wow! That's exciting, but there's something unsettling to some in the high corporation that is Disney. The copyright on Mickey Mouse is up, over due, revoked, absolved...........that is, gone after 75 years. Disney is having a shit-fit over this and they are spending a lot of time in Congress trying to get the copyright laws changed to be in their favor. Well, this is all too interesting and I was just dying to know what the outcome of all this is going to be. So, it is this that I ask you Squid...what's going to happen to this world when that dark birthday rears it's scary head and Mickey Mouse will belong to everybody?
