    Copyright Big Event Coming 2019 01 01

    For the First Time in More Than 20 Years, Copyrighted Works Will Enter the Public Domain
    Read more: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-...IjReUkqobOY.99


    "Whose woods these are, I think I”—whoa! We can’t quote any more of Robert Frost’s “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” because it is still under copyright as this magazine goes to press. But come January 1, 2019, we, you, and everyone in America will be able to quote it at length on any platform.

    At midnight on New Year’s Eve, all works first published in the United States in 1923 will enter the public domain.

    It has been 21 years since the last mass expiration of copyright in the U.S.


    This looked very interesting.

    "
    That deluge of works includes not just “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” which appeared first in the New Republic in 1923, but hundreds of thousands of books, musical compositions, paintings, poems, photographs and films."

    I wonder what new things will be created as a result.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Was that just for commercial application? Hasn't this poem has been re-printed and copied and pasted all over the internet without too much regard for copyright? How would it have been enforced or has it, with regard to non-commercial application?
    You are wrong about police.

    Those who violate copyright laws can get big surprises.

    Hundreds of thousands of books, articles, photographs, and other works will all become public domain in less than two weeks. I am always looking for new images to use in my blogs. I use quotes in my books. This will give me more options where I do not have to seek a copyright holder's permission.

    "To get new ideas, read old books."

    I have committed to publishing two books in 2019. This new material may inspire me to write more.

    You have to protect your copyright or you can lose it. Frost has many works with the copyright in the public domain now.
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation
    Pick your enemies carefully.

    I just settled a case where my clients designed this beautiful house. A couple walked through it and then had their builder go to the Medina County Building Department to get a copy of the plans. My clients hadn't copyrighted their plans and learned the hard way that they had zero protection. I was brought in to defend the defamation claim filed after my clients ran all over Medina County saying these folks "stole" their design. Which, they did but legally they could.

    Copyright it folks -- $35.00

    Zero protection against what? Someone designing a home like theirs?

    Who cares? Seriously, stop and think about that, what's the point?

    This is the $#@! that just... makes me want to give up on this nation, who $#@!ing cares?

    The issue here is that someone with a boatload of money is annoyed that someone else with a boat load of money one-upped them on... their $#@!ing million dollar house design?

    And lawyers....

    Meanwhile someone in some war torn ridden part of this god forsaken ball of mud is some poor soul lucky to have a cardboard box to live in because we're part of some $#@! design to protect our "interests" by bombing the $#@! out of their nation so these $#@!sticks can sue each other over $#@! like this?

    I really hope there is a god, there will be some justice if so.

    One benefit of this event for readers is that characters and whole literary worlds that were previously set in stone and unchanging - or else vey tightly protected by a deceased author's estate - will be up for grabs and grist for new writers' imagination and storytelling.

    A few years ago, due to a quirk in Canadian copyright law, the character of James Bond fell into the public domain in that country, and the result was a very uneven but entertaining volume of short stories called 'License Expired'. An acquaintance of mine sued the Arthur Conan Doyle estate in 2014 and the case went all the way to the U.S. Seventh Circuit (affirmed by the SCOTUS), where the court noted that the estate had been guilty of "extortion" (their word) for demanding payment for any use of the Sherlock Holmes character when they, in fact, had no legal basis for doing so.
    Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.” - Robert E. Howard

    "Only a rank degenerate would drive 1,500 miles across Texas and not eat a chicken fried steak." - Larry McMurtry
