I thought if someone made a work it would be his and after his death his family or stuff like that would be theirs for ever too. Are you telling me that in 15 years Superman will be in public domain? Because I doubt it. Not exactly, because he is likely trademarked on most things. It's the same for Mickey Mouse, the issue isn't him for Disney, it's all of the other characters that would soon become available in the public domain. From my understanding they have also already trademarked Winnie the Pooh, so while the original books are/coming into public domain people cannot use the name Winnie the Pooh. --- Mind post.
