1. The Disney cartoon character Mickey Mouse first appeared in a short cartoon in 1928 (Steamboat Willie). There have been many times in the past several years that the copyrights on "the Mouse" have almost expired. Using whatever sources (cite your sources and make sure they are reliable) you have access to, trace the history of the copyrights on "the Mouse" and provide me with a written memo outlining the history of the copyright on "the Mouse" and provide the EXACT date that "the Mouse" will enter the public domain.
