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.
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.

This post is a meme tho
… And this post isnt genuinely claiming that this meme was illegal before the first of the month. Its making fun of the change.
Yes I’m aware but it’s an empty point.
Point? There is no point, its a joke. Its not a statement, theyre making fun of the mouse
That’s exactly what I said in my OP
Your op said that people are acting like they are making memes that would have been illegal to make a month ago.
No one is acting like that, theyre making memes to make fun of disney now having to see comics, movies, games, and shows with the mouse in it
Lmao ok. Yea I am definitely enjoying the feeling of “the little guy found a loophole”, even if it’s false.
It’s not wrong to enjoy things, but it’s ok to laugh at it too.
I really like that sentence. It’s going in my notebook.
