• Disney retracts copyright claim on a YouTuber’s “Steamboat Willie” video, allowing it to be monetizable and shareable worldwide.
• The claim had previously demonetized the video and restricted its visibility and embedding options.
• This move by Disney may signal its recognition of “Steamboat Willie” being in the public domain.
Because this is about YouTube and not the actual law itself.
You could take this to court and defend your use if it. But in this case, it’s just YouTube and it’s own systems being abused by Disney.
