Nearly two dozen members of the U.S. House of Representatives’ Republican Study Commission (RSC) have declared their opposition to allowing the Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS) to renew its copyright on Mickey Mouse in 2024 based on what they called the company’s "political and sexual agenda."
What Happened: Fox News reported that roughly two dozen RSC members sent a letter to Disney CEO Bob Chapek stating they would not support the copyright extension based on their claim that the company “sought to expand business in China by kowtowing to its Communist regime” while ignoring its “human rights abuses and the theft of U.S. intellectual property.”
