People dont care about Sonny Bono, so it wont get any prominence. Most people dont care about copyright. Most people do have kids and do know who Mickey Mouse is. Tar Mickey Mouse with the actions of his protectors and the world will listen.

Less Mickey Mouse, more Sonny Bono. Beloved cartoon characters from everyone's childhood are harder to campaign against than one of Cher's ex-husbands.

If we want to have an extra impact, I think we should campaign to redefine January 1 as (Anti-)Mickey Mouse Day, and promote it as the day that Mickey Mouse Act / Disney has prevented the commons from being enriched. We could list all of the works which would be public domain in the US if Mickey Mouse had never existed.
