So old characters such as Mickey Mouse are all fine to use as the authors are dead?
The authors may be dead, but they did exist. The work had an author.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Term_Extension_Act
If you're going to use a character some human ever created, hire a lawyer. The House of Mouse has their own lawyers.
Nah fuck that, pirate Mickey and other cultural works.
I bet they didn't consider this one when writing the law!
Dead authors are still authors.
But seriously, the law has been changed and butchered so many times that it makes next to no sense.
The only thing that does still make sense is the fact that a human must create the work to gain copyright on it.
