Would this picture have been ILLEGAL a month ago or why is steamboat Willy such a big deal rn?
People are pretending like this is a big deal when it isn’t, and Mickey mouse memes would never have resulted in any sort of action by Disney because they’re memes.
Here’s an old as shit Mickey Mouse meme. Note how it is still online and no one is in trouble for it, and it isn’t even Steamboat Willie.

Expect this to continue for a while because people love feeling like they’re “sticking it to the man” even though they could’ve been doing that for ages and none of it matters.
Lmao ok. Yea I am definitely enjoying the feeling of “the little guy found a loophole”, even if it’s false.
People using the mouse in memes doesnt matter because thats not a copyright violation, but the many people using it in comics, and planning to use it for tv shows, youtube short content, and video games absolutely are.
The memes are joking and referencing the advent of that content, not stating that they, the memes themselves, are part of that content.
Have you watched the original short? Mouse deserves to be crushed at the bottom of the sea, what an asshole
Sinkboat Willie
He has the money, I say DO IT!
He’s great, hell crush it.
