Pluralistic: 2023’s public domain is a banger

quote [ 40 years ago, giant entertainment companies embarked on a slow-moving act of arson. The fuel for this arson was copyright term extension (making copyrights last longer), including retrospective copyright term extensions that took works out of the public domain and put them back into copyright for decades. Vast swathes of culture became off-limits, pseudo-property with absentee landlords, with much of it crumbling into dust. ]

Finally! Almost time to publish my Sherlock Holmes as a Juggalo series.

Fucking deduction. How does it work?

That's a pretty cool list of stuff with lots of possibilities. Sucks about copyright situation in general for the USA. But still, Sherlock Holmes in the next Super Smash Brothers lineup is gonna be rad.

Makes as much sense as some of the other characters on the roster.
