  27-10-2019 20:00 via ocregister.com
  
  After several fits and starts, the battle over the defense of Proposition 13 began in earnest last week as progressive interest groups began gathering signatures for their new and hardly improved ballot measure to impose a multi-billion dollar “split roll” property tax on Californians.

  TARZANA — Every basketball team is, of course, trying to get buckets.
  The Clippers are the most invested team I know in giving buckets.
  If you’ve shot hoops at a public basketball court anywhere in the city of Los Angeles since 2022, the Clippers’ logo was on the backboard. A ubiquitous reminder of the $10 million donation team owner Steve Ballmer made to the L.A. Parks Foundation for renovations at every one of Los Angeles’ public basketball courts.

• Mickey Mouse is now in the public domain? Ask the Lawyer

  10-02-2026 19:45 via ocregister.com
  
  Q: I saw on television that the Mickey Mouse character is no longer subject to copyright, or something along those lines. This seems very surprising. Can you clarify?
  B.W., Culver City
  Ron Sokol
  A: In the United States, a copyright under the current rule (a work created after 1978) has a duration of the life of the author plus 70 years. Older works, published before 1929 — which includes some aspects of Mickey Mouse — generally have a fixed term of 95 years from publication.
