I wonder if anyone is going to mod Steam Boat Willy into the game and see how long it takes Disney to claim trademark infringement.
Steamboat Willy is in the Public domain as of Jan 1st
Yes but now they are trying to trade mark it
They'd be 23 days late on that claim
They've started putting steam boat Willy in front of all their movies so they can protect it with trademark since the copyright has expired.
have they actually tried enforcing it yet? or is that just the internet's working theory?
Just the theory but it isn't outside of Disney's MO
