It was written in 1948 (I understand he chose 84 because it was just the
last two digits transposed). Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't a copyright
supposed to only last 50 years? I think I remember reading this as one of
the investment risks to purchasing Disney shares because the IP rights on
characters such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck were now exposed.
