So old characters such as Mickey Mouse are all fine to use as the authors are dead?
The authors may be dead, but they did exist. The work had an author.

If you're going to use a character some human ever created, hire a lawyer. The House of Mouse has their own lawyers.
Nah fuck that, pirate Mickey and other cultural works.
I bet they didn't consider this one when writing the law!
