Disney wants as many customers as possible and doesn’t care about temporary optics based on hard right politics. Don’t mistake them for the good guys. Megacorps that buy up everything in sight and use their ridiculous piles of money to exert influence over politics are the core of the problem.
Guess why copyright laws in the US kept adding decades and decades to copyright protection from the death of the creator. HINT: Megacorp money controlling laws may have been involved.
Like all corporations, Disney is a mercenary. Their allegiance lies with whoever puts the bigger number on their cheque.
If MAGA is going to get in the way of Disney trying to make money, I'm more than happy to let Disney fight that battle and waste some cycles
While most of that is true, they actually did let the Mickey Mouse copyright expire, and Mickey as portrayed in Steamboat Willie is now public domain.
But instead they're using trademark. There's a reason they've started using Steamboat Willie in an animated logo.
I've got a love/hate thing with Disney. Like...enemy-of-my-enemy-enemy kind of thing.
I do love when they stick it to DeSantis.
But I still ain't going to FL anytime soon. We did Disney in 2022 and I think that's probably near the end of when FL was tolerable (in small doses) for sane people.
DISNEY resumed thier donations to florida after the desantis/florida spat.
Especially Disney with their past...
