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 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 @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. 😂
