Disney backs down from 'Steamboat Willie' YouTube copyright claim
The company tacitly acknowledges that 'Steamboat Willie' is in the public domain.
• 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.
