Shocking About True Copyright of Mickey Mouse

Mickey Mouse may came from originally from another person in 1920's or Walt Disney.  I just learned that people who lived in 1920 to 1940's do not have accurate copyright of the artwork. They do not know what they are doing with copyright law that caused researcher copyright scholar do extra work to find truth about owner claims and hold the copyright. Walt Disney claims that they create Mickey Mouse in 1928, but a little copyright card shows differently in 1920's.  In many decades years later, Walt Disney had sued other artists and sellers who used cartoon characters many time.  Also, Walt Disney had took someone's money in the account. I understand that Walt Disney tries to protect their work as other artists want protect their own artwork. However, Walt Disney went overboard with copyright issues. The owner of Walt Disney probably wouldn't let it happen, but he is not alive today.  Unfortunately, Mickey Mouse probably will become public domain that is really scary for Walt Disney because It had paid million dollars to hold that cartoon figure for many decades.  If Walt Disney loses it to public domain, they would suffer a great loss of the sales, but they have other cartoon characters that would be helpful.  Mickey Mouse is the greatest cartoon character and the best artwork that Walt Disney ever had for many decades.  I hope Walt Disney resolve this issues and find truth about copyright issues.

Update SilentMysts Info

I had decided to shut gift store and everything else in www.silentmysts.com down and replaced it to art gallery only due to lack of traffic and customers.  

Now the art gallery allows you to rate, leave comments, and email me.  I think it is a good starter to please people.  Soon or later, you may register and upload artwork.  Just contact me if you are interested to share.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to contact me.
