  • April 15: Mickey Mouse Release Day: If not for the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act, Mickey Mouse would be released into the public domain on April 15, 2003. On this day, we call for all websites to display Mickey’s likeness in protest of CTEA. Make sure it is a 1928 image of Mickey, such as in “Steamboat Willie”.
