Pinned post.
My pronouns are it/its.
This blog is being created on January 6th 2024, to help combat the rampant misinformation and fearmongering being spread about the Public Domain in general, and about Mickey Mouse in particular now that he's Public Domain.
I will be reblogging posts with the correct information, as well as posts that are originally misinformed, but with corrections added.
I'll start reblogging art of Public Domain Mickey Mouse once I get all the tags organized :)
Please take the time to learn what the Public Domain is.
This collection of videos from the Internet Archive from 2019, which is an important year you'll learn why when you watch them if you don't already know, is a good starting point: Link here. Unfortunately only some of them seem to have subtitles.
There are also a lot of youtube videos summarizing the basics, but please note: Look for videos published before 2024. So much misinformation and fearmongering is being spread right now you probably won't find anything correct from January 2024 because everyone who has a camera suddenly feels the need to start talking about things they clearly do not understand. I really hope it gets better by the time February gets here.
For Public Domain media, go check out Project Gutenberg, LibriVox, Public Domain Movies, and Comic Book+, not to mention the Internet Archive itself, and more.
