Copyright is a legal right that lets creators stop others from “copying” their work. It is most often used for books, movies, and other art forms. The Copyright Extension Act happened in 1998. Before the act, 50-75 years after the original creator’s death, anyone could use their work. After the act, work was protected for 95-120 years after the original creator’s death. The act is sometimes called the “Micky Mouse Protection Act” since it extended Disney’s copyright on Micky Mouse.
