That's right, Comrades, the "Steamboat Willie" version of Mickey Mouse is now in the public domain, so now anyone can use it for any purpose.
Not that the character hasn't been parodied before—he has—but parodies are protected speech. This is different. Now you can use this version of Mickey Mouse as your logo, or mascot, or give him a different name and make him do unspeakable things or exploit his image by using him as a propaganda tool.
But why would anyone do such a thing?
