After the copyright protection period of the version of Disney’s animated character Mickey Mouse in “Steamboat Willie” expired, the cryptocurrency community began creating related NFT projects based on this original version of Mickey Mouse.
According to the Associated Press, the copyright protection period for the “Steamboat Willie” version of Mickey has officially expired on January 1, 2024, entering the public domain and available for public use. However, there are still significant limitations at the moment, as only the captain Mickey Mouse from “Steamboat Willie” enters the public domain.
