Personally, I don't give a shit about whether Mickey Mouse is copyrighted or not. What I care about is all the other works that were kept from entering the public domain because Disney was constantly getting copyright extended.
What's funny is that Disney built their empire largely on public-domain works (such as fairy tales), but when it's their turn to give back, they fight it tooth and nail. Classic getting to the top and then pulling up the ladder behind you.
