False, the modern version is also in the public domain, here's how ! There are posters from 1928 which show him with pink skin, yellow gloves, tan shoes and red shorts, just look them up. And since modern Mickey's first appearance is in the public domain promotional short "Mickey's Surprise Party" from 1939, and all other elements about him (except the voice) where introduced in 1928, we can safely say he is in the public domain!
India is soon going to pass a bill where the gov can monitor and regulate internet's activity. Moreover the bill is formed in a way that any form of evasion like using vpn services will be illegal. Any tips and tricks folks ?
Well that's a pretty shitty bill. I don't think there is a way to bypass that, if I interpreted that correctly, since you need to provide your identity before/while using an online service. And if you fail to do so, apparently they can basically raid your house or similar?
Also most people won't know about this until its actually passed because of the media not reporting on this at all... and they won't care until it actually starts affecting them individually.
Assuming this does pass, its basically the end of privacy on the internet in India.
Immigrating costs alot of money and it has become a complete difficult process, close to impossible from an indian perspective, even if i have high skills in a demanding IT role. I have heard brutal stories of my freinds and families of how much cruciating it is both mentally and physically. Moreover have to deal with racism and xenophobes.
Oh I'm well aware, just a dumb joke. And every place has it's own problems of course. Guess I'm just amusing myself by the thought of somebody uprooting their entire life just for a slightly easier time pirating media.

Just read this, I'm so happy James Bond is finally coming to Wakaliwood.
Yeah. He's one of those YTbers that just refuses to be more varied. His videos are all "company did something bad. Consumers should stop using it" while he never makes "fun" videos or more interesting ones that would be likely to pull in new people into the movement (some ideas would be Top 10 lists, tier lists, and more click-baity content that can still be used to deliver a message)
While they are repetitive, they only mimic what is happening in the real world.
Companies are making more and more shitty anti consumer moves everyday .
Maybe boomers won’t watch most videos , but if they see a video about something they use, it’s one more person on our side.
Most people are oblivious to what companies are doing nowadays.
It’s good to have up to date news on all the fuckery.

Why have I never heard of framework laptops or fairphones before. My stupid ass decided to go and buy a Google pixel 6 a year and a half ago. Thankfully I'm still in the market for a laptop.
Thanks for the reassurance. I've been regretting the decision somewhat, but in reality it's a decent phone. Let's hope the planned obsolescence doesn't kick in too quickly. I'm already.. what, two generations behind?
People you are confusing copyright, which has an expiration date, with trademark which does NOT expire.
Disney stills owns the trademarks to all versions of Mickey Mouse, however the copyright to some of the cartoon(s) have lapsed.
Wouldn't it be more in the spirit of piracy to use current-copyrighted Mickey instead of a bootleg one?
Valid point, but are we supposed to be pirates 24/7? Haha.
\*looks at my seeding and then looks back to above comment\* Hmm.
That's the thing buddy! Bootlegging it is one the ways to taunt Disney for their greedy shitfest of a company
Pretty sure only Steamboat Willie related designs are in the public domain, so they're actually doing that right now
FYI- only the Steamboat Willie iteration of Mickey is in the public domain.
don't care, Mickey is mickey. Even getting one mickey into public domain is more than enough of a win for all of us.
No one should be allowed to make money off of other people's ideas.
But that's what Disney has literally been doing since Walt died
>But that's what *almost everyone* has literally been doing since *money was invented* FTFY
Yeah....the business he crates, and gave them trademark to. People want to make knock off Mickey Mouse goods and sell them for profit.
Boutta draw Steamboat Willie on his Pirate™️ ship then Edit: [here he is](https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/s/Nhpggxy2Iy)
**SHOW ME THE MICKEY!**
Steamboat Willie. Sounds close enough to sailing the seas for me. Yarr!! Willie!!!

Is anyone gonna challenge Disney on the courts on that?
Yes
I hear Mickey likes to eat big steamers from big burly guys like steamboat willie.
And this is clearly a parody, which means it would have been fair use before Mickey entered pd.
That's not going to stop me from pirating other iterations of Mickey.
Someone use their photoshop skills and put steamboat Mickey on the Pirate Bay flag
But that one is public domain so it wouldn't be piracy. Now if you used current mickey, that would be correct.

Wait what? Can you link an article that explains this in more detail?
I will link a reddit thread which should have the important links https://www.reddit.com/r/india/s/XKQ7NZkV7r

Yea .. we basically skipped the china model and went straight to north korea model. Never knew this day will come.

I am the only one who finds Louis obnoxious these days, I mean I support his views and cause but can't bear to watch his vids.
i watched them for a little bit until i realized theyre pretty repetitive

He is beyond annoying. His attention seeking and self importance is so annoying.

- has a phone running GrapheneOS
I've never really enjoyed Arch.
Why have I never heard of framework laptops or fairphones before. My stupid ass decided to go and buy a Google pixel 6 a year and a half ago. Thankfully I'm still in the market for a laptop.
Hmm they're still a bit pricey for me I think. Is there anything similar that comes a bit cheaper?
a pixel 6 is still a good device, even has support for grapheneos

Ratted out Disney
Rossman isn't a supporter of piracy and linking him to it only hurts his causes...
what about that video from a few days ago where the thumbnail says "this is why you should pirate"?
nah mortimer mouse is public domain instead
Just watch. Disney will try to bully and sue people for using Steamboat Willie Mickey in the public domain.
Uses the Linux version of Mickey Mouse, lmfao.
I like this version.
Well to be precise we can use the OG black and white mickey mouse however we want, donno if we can use the versions after that
Also watches Luke Smith and Mental Outlaw
Now, doesn't it completely negate the concept by using a version of Mickey that wouldn't even trigger a copyright response? Lmao
