mashable.com

• Disney retracts copyright claim on a YouTuber's "Steamboat Willie" video, allowing it to be monetizable and shareable worldwide.

• The claim had previously demonetized the video and restricted its visibility and embedding options.

• This move by Disney may signal its recognition of "Steamboat Willie" being in the public domain.
