Dr. Amy, Psy.D.I was so excited about Sherlock Holmes I didn’t realize MC Escher’s works also entered the public domain today!!
Edit - apparently Google showed me an article that isn’t specific to the US so this isn’t true here 😭 Sorry for the wrong info!
Glenn Fleishman@dramypsyd @WarnerCrocker I can't find that that's the case—did you spot an article about this? Under US law his work from 1928 to 1972 (his death year) still has 95 years' protection; in a few countries, but not the UK or EU or Canada starting this year, life plus 50 would expire. In most non-US countries, it's life + 70 (an absurd duration).
Warner Crocker@glennf @dramypsyd Here’s the only article I’ve spotted on this. Scroll down towards the end. https://publicdomainreview.org/blog/2023/01/public-domain-day-2023
@WarnerCrocker @dramypsyd The article opens with a list of possibilities—definitely confusing it you don't check dates.
@glennf @WarnerCrocker oh shoot so those of us in America still have to wait!
I keep it around for luck.

I always loved MC Escher's artwork on 'perception'.

Shawn King@dramypsyd Are you sure?
“In general, copyright lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years. Escher died in March, 1972, so his copyrights will expire in March, 2042.”
@KingShawn ugh yes apparently Google showed me an article from a country with different laws. For all the weirdly personal info they have on me you’d think they’d know which jurisdiction I’m in
@dramypsyd I asked because I’m a HUGE Escher fan.
@KingShawn we will have to keep waiting sadly!
@dramypsyd I’ve only seen his works in real life once. Loved it but was surprised at how small so many of his most famous pieces actually are!
Joe ❌👑@dramypsyd @KingShawn Yes, copyright lasts longer in the US than Europe thanks to Disney.
@not2b @dramypsyd LOL Yeah...I’m sure we both know that but thanks for the mansplanation. 😂
Iza Marfisi@dramypsyd these are part of my childhood 😍! I had completely forgoten about them. Thanks for the toot. 🙏

Ford@dramypsyd how much of Escher's work did he do in the US? Probably none of it?
