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!

@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).
@glennf @dramypsyd @WarnerCrocker indeed. We need to make it revert to AT LEAST life
