The New York Times reported earlier this week that on January 1, 2024, the copyright for “Steamboat Willy,” the first-ever film featuring Mickey Mouse in his classic depiction, will enter the public domain, though speculation is rampant that Disney will fight a legal battle to keep its rights to him.

Is it time for Disney to rent Congress (because they're not honest enough to stay bought) again and extend the copyright another five or ten years?

this is exactly what will happen. Disney is not going to risk losing control of Mickey.

I’m kind of surprised they haven’t already. I can’t remember Mickey ever coming within a couple years of landing public domain before. Maybe the prevailing wind is finally going against them, and congress is actually realizing that if they make another change it would basically be “forever”.
