Did they forget to lobby for new copyright laws?
They got what they want with trademark law now. A few days from now, you'll be able to distribute Steamboat Willy any way you want. You still can't use Disney's trademarked image of Mickey for commercial purposes.
They didn't bother having that fight because they didn't need to.
They still got time.
They didn't have enough time three years ago.
They really don’t. The current congress wouldn’t even be able to pass a fully supported bipartisan bill in the next 6 days. And republicans have turned against Disney in recent years, due to the whole Disney World/Ron Desantis feud.
