• Now in the U.S. public domain ...

    From Tony Nance@3:633/10 to All on Tue Jan 13 16:23:28 2026

    I just ran across an article that mentioned some of the works[1] that
    entered public domain in the U.S. as of Jan 1: https://web.law.duke.edu/cspd/publicdomainday/2026/

    The only SF work mentioned here is Stapledon's Last and First Men.

    Also entering: Agatha Christie's first novel that features Miss Marple
    (The Murder at the Vicarage), and the first four Nancy Drew books have
    also entered.

    So feel free to get those Marple-Drew crossovers going folks!

    [1] I focused on books above, but also mentioned are some characters,
    comics, cartoons, films, musical compositions, sound recordings, and
    art, and them a whole bunch of info I didn't read.
