Mickey Mouse is about to be fair game for anybody interested in producing a CGI porn flix.
Okay, that's extreme. However, if social media should have taught us anything, it's that The Worst Actors will make The Most Egregious Use out of any opportunity to do Horrible Things with changes intended for the better.
Also, I am not fan of Corporate Fatcats owning Other People's Ideas forever. But, there are some cultural icons that are about to lose any (admittedly thin) protection from any interpretation.
(Personally, I find him annoying, but) Mickey Mouse is generally perceived as a positive figure that many love. Is it a good thing to let just anybody deliver an interpretation? There could be legit artistic merit in something edgy with MM; does that mean everything should be on the table?
Alternatively, should independent creators be free to make Superman an undocumented immigrant to the US, raised by Venezuelan farmers, with his views (that might be closer to S&S' original vision) shaping up everything about him?
