For clarification Steamboat Willie goes into public domain. Mickie Mouse himself is trademarked and remains Disney’s.

Was gonna say this is virtually meaningless. So much shyt w/ Mickey is trademarked no studio in their right mind would invest the money in a production of steamboat Willie.

There is a separate trademark on Mickey Mouse as a brand, that forbids anyone from using him in a way that would lead someone to think it’s a Disney product. Anyone who uses Steamboat Willie is going to have a mountain of litigation on their hands because of that. Even changing Mickey from being silent, to having a voice is gonna get lawyers on your ass.

Copyrights and patents should exist.
Only trademarks have a intellectual principle to be protected and that's based on the legal concept of fraud

Everything else is literally government action taking ownership of private property to institute a monopoly.

Explain that last bit. Copyrights and patents are a registration system and still owned by the creator.
