Great news. Last year's release of the IRR related to #Copyright stated that a registry will be created for Filipino works, and works produced in the Philippines, in the #PublicDomain.
In addition to the above, the IRR also finalised that any Philippine government works, unless otherwise specified, are now automatically in the Public Domain.
Today isn't just 123123, but the last day that intellectual property and copyright is used to enslave the characters on willy's steamboat.
Yes, Mickey Mouse will be free tomorrow, finally. That's true for the @art works of Ub Iwerks, but it'll take another decade for the redesign of Fred Moore. However, we appreciate that Mickey can roam in the public domain to discover alternatives of capitalism and slave wages. From now on Mickey can stand for the people instead of incorporated private investor and plutocrat interests. You don't have to wait for long to see Mickey standing up for Palestine, since we are already on it. Follow us, so you won't miss it.
Last and least to mention, but important in the context... Walt Disney was so much more than just another CEO, and a horrible person. He was a opportunistic freemason, misogynist, racist and anti-semite who used Mickey Mouse to sell gas masks for kids.
Since he divided employees to rule hard over them and was an enemy of unions like the AFL, we can say that he was a capitalistic sociopath relying on the exploitation of artists, with a special interest in propaganda and conspiracy.
No need to mention the racist use of Jive in the Jungle Book, or that the amount of sexual context in Disney movies is more than questionable. While it's most likely that Walt was a pedophile, it's almost certain that Jeffrey Epstein watched Disney movies when he got another girl for a "massage", isn't it?
"Fuck them!" seems inappropriate here, but imho the French dealt way better with feudalism, frogs and snails than to literally "Eat the rich". Still hope that we, as the people, prefer fresh stuff over rotten corpses. So please stay healthy, hopeful, & honest — stay human. We wish you all* a happy new year! Namaste
with the necessary exception of naZionists and other (funda)mental fascists. Sorry, but no sorry or cookies for them.
