Yeah, I don't know what was more offensive: extending copyright YET AGAIN or doing so retroactively to save Steamboat Willie.

I vowed to boycott Disney, but Pixar got subsumed into the evil empire and I gave up.

I take a boycott from buying Disney products (including movie tickets / movies). I will gladly watch their movies if a friend has a copy (copyright law still hasn't taken that freedom away from me), but if no-one has a copy the movie couldn't have been that good anyway. :P
