I wonder if anyone is going to mod Steam Boat Willy into the game and see how long it takes Disney to claim trademark infringement.

Steamboat Willy is in the Public domain as of Jan 1st

Yes but now they are trying to trade mark it

They'd be 23 days late on that claim

They've started putting steam boat Willy in front of all their movies so they can protect it with trademark since the copyright has expired.

Just the theory but it isn't outside of Disney's MO
