Get Stable Diffusion to output Micky Mouse and see how far you can use that commercially without Disney stomping down on you hard.

Outputting copyrighted material is a violation of copyright, period. Whether that violation is enforceable depends on your means though.

And why is Micky Mouse not in the public domain as of 2022? There lies in the root of all these questions. The system is not designed to benefit people, but rent-seeking.

While I agree that copyright terms are unreasonably long, it's not relevant to this specific case.
