• Disney retracts copyright claim on a YouTuber’s “Steamboat Willie” video, allowing it to be monetizable and shareable worldwide.
• The claim had previously demonetized the video and restricted its visibility and embedding options.
• This move by Disney may signal its recognition of “Steamboat Willie” being in the public domain.
Trademark would require that they’re using it in merchandizing or marketing. If the channel is simply re-uploading the original, Disney has no valid trademark claim.
It’s a joke.
