But that video would be easy to obtain for anyone, so the business model of selling it would not be a threat to Disney.<p>Further more, if you&#x27;re in the business of selling public domain works, don&#x27;t expect the courts to protect you when Disney comes knocking about your use of their character on the video cover. Even though you can sell the video, you don&#x27;t own the rights. You would have very little to say in court except &quot;I want to make money from public domain art&quot;.<p>And you wouldn&#x27;t be permitted to sell collections of Disney films, even those expired. From what I understand, that is not allowed when selling public domain works. For example you wouldn&#x27;t be allowed to sell a &quot;best of old Disney films&quot; collection, or have a website called &quot;Mickey Mouse Movie Store&quot;, even if all the movies were in the public domain.
