quote from second sauce
>After the Bill became law, there was another outburst of activity, culminating in a U.S. Supreme Court Challenge to the “Mickey Mouse Extension Act”, but it was too little, too late. The challengers argued that the Act was unconstitutional because it violated the requirement that copyrights be granted for a limited time. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, writing for the majority, opined that so long as the terms remained finite, the “limited time” requirement was satisfied.
