As far as Knight goes, I'm not sure, but  I don't think so. The recent 
extention to US copyright law (which I have heard  was made to enable Disney to 
retain Mickey Mouse and other characters) extended  copyrights for another 25 
years, I believe. This would mean Knight's work would  go into public domain 
sometime in the 2020's (75 years after his death) unless  Disney attorneys go 
to 
work again. Don't take this to the bank, but I think this  is what the deal is.
