If they're right, they have successfully served the interest of some big copyright holder.

"In 2017, Coppola's company, American Zoetrope, restored the film's director's cut under the supervision of James T. Mockoski, with editing by Robert Schafer, sound restoration by Jim McKee of Earwax Productions, and color supervision by Chris Martin of Mission Film and Design." That's my guess.
Because their content bot is fucking retarded. I made a Selen clip which a few other people also clipped and I got a notification saying that I could fuck those people over. This is why its important to add zooms and images to clips to avoid this shit.
They know that even if Steamboat Willie is in the public domain, Disney (so ABC, and the politicians they own) will put you in the penis explosion chamber for showing it publicly.
Other people can fraudulently claim ownership of it by uploading it into the Content ID system. Same thing happens with music, someone else can take a non-monetised song and upload it to claim revenue from reuploads/lyric videos/fan MVs etc., I've seen some artists begrudgingly use Content ID simply because if they don't claim videos using their music, someone else will. It's been a problem for nearly a decade now.
They just really wanted those Twitch emotes and it's five whole dollars, that's kind of expensive man
Youtube is a Pippa gosling.
Disney will never let it happen. I think Steamboat Willie is being sacrificed to public domain but if you use him and call him Mickey you will be sacrificed on the altar of ESG.
She must have her eye on another round of custom plushies, or a rabbit castle extension.
