These SVG (scalable vector graphics) files were created by me from
scratch using Inkscape_, an excellent and versatile Free_ vector
drawing package.  Thumbnails are shown below, linked to the SVG files
(right/control-click and “Save Link As...” to save them).

Mickey’s Infinite Copyright
===========================

    Featured on `Boing Boing`__ and in `Lawrence Lessig’s blog`__,
    this image is `now available as a sticker from
    BumperActive.com`__, with 22% ($1) per sale going to the `Creative
    Commons`_.

When will Mickey Mouse’s 1928 debut, `Steamboat Willie,`__ `enter the
public domain?`__ `At the current rate, never!`__ As of this writing,
it’s 78 years old, fer cryin’ out loud!

What this means is that nothing in the commercial creative world
(books, art, film, music, etc.), published during your lifetime, will
ever enter the public domain in your lifetime.  In other words, it’s
locked up for life.  That’s really sad, and disastrous for dynamic
culture!  You can fight this trend using `Creative Commons`_ licenses
on your work.

Please feel free (as in freedom) to put these on personal T-shirts,
especially if you’re visiting Disney World or Disneyland, or attending
a Disney film premiere ;-).

`Free Mickey!`__

     - .. figure:: no_infinite_copyright.png
          :target: no_infinite_copyright.svg

          No infinite copyright!  (The “no symbol” or “prohibition
          sign”—the red circle with a diagonal line—comes from
          `Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_symbol>`__.)

Updated 2006-01-08: Changed the infinity symbol to use a more
symmetrical typeface.

Updated 2008-10-07: Added the “No infininite copyright!” version.
