I beg to differ. They pushed the 1998 copyright extension, and got mad because Congress didn't act on it quick enough, and a year actually slipped into the public domain (1922).

Steamboat Willie was 1928. The Mouse House has been the most vocefirous about never losing <any> of their copyrights...

(Besides, I have a 1/2 ounce of gold riding on them attempting to do something by 2022....)
