The law in 1998 that extended copyright by 20 years is known as the &ldquo;Mickey Mouse Copyright Extension Act&rdquo; because one of the main sponsors of this law was Disney. Disney realized that the copyright on Mickey Mouse was going to expire, and they don't want that to ever happen because they make a lot of money from that copyright.
