I bet no more than two senators know what this means. S-s-o buy some non-free software to play your music, kid. Back in my day our music players were free. Wait, what are you talking about anyways? You kids are all on the iPhones and they're not free. I think we're done here, thanks for stopping by!

They can just do what a certain group of Jews are doing with Edgar Rice Burrough's books: Use trademarks to keep people from using a particular thing that lapsed into the Public Doman. Go on, try using Tarzan or anything from the Barsoom books in something new without their OK.
So now shit in the Public Domain isn't even safe to use the way things are now, and that is ridiculous.

If they try we have to at least try to generate some kind of outcry. They already have musicians shilling this on (((social media))), but I bet independent comic publishers and writers would fall on our side of this.

...meanwhile in Japan, independent mangaka openly publish works based on newest hit titles, sell them on convents and nobody cares as long as it's low-volume and doesn't falsely claim to be original. Original first-party works somehow do not suffer from that (who'd have thunk it?) while fan works scene flourishes.
All while in the West fan works are between dead and sued to oblivion.

It has been mentioned, but in about six years Micky's first cartoon should go into the public domain, and Disney has already said they have no plans to lobby to extend copyright terms again. Likely, they intend to use trademarks to limit the use of the mouse from there.
