But the IP of the characters are extended. You’ll have to convince a court you’re using the original characters in public domain and not the updated characters still under copyright. And this is in a fight against Disney.

Except no. There wasn't any fight like this when Mickey Mouse/Steamboat Willy went into public domain.

You have different depictions of the same characters characters going into public domain in the order that they were created. Not that difficult to get your head around.

I sure hope you’re right, but I’m cynical about Disney.

I wonder if anyone made a large-ish creative work and sold it with Wiily in it yet, or is it just random people posting on the web?
