Remember how Sonny Bono lobbied on behalf of Disney because he was afraid 
of seeing the copyrights on his music expire? Suffice to say that his 
copyrights aren't doing him much good now <vbg>.

The truth is that Disney thinks they can keep the rights to their 1930s 
cartoons forever so that they can charge you $50 for a DVD set of them. 
Since the people who made those cartoons are all dead, the money sure isn't 
going to them.
