Now that Mickey is out it should be easier. Disney was one of the most powerful lobbies for extension largely because of the mouse.

They are still going to enforce trademark on the Mickey, so it wont be easy to use it everywhere.

How are they going to enforce it if you don't mind me asking? When it expires doesn't that mean they can't enforce it?

Edit: Ah, trademark, not copyright, sorry!
