The new year is coming, and I just realized that all the Sherlock Holmes stories will be in the public domain in 2023! Cory Doctorow has a list, as well as an overview of the lawsuits involving the greedy Arthur Conan Doyle Estate. I remember back in the 1990s when I was in college, writing Holmes fanfic, and lamenting the long wait for the Sherlockian canon to go out of copyright. Now it's finally here. Amazing. The lazy heirs will finally have to make money some other way.
