Free Sherlock Holmes: the Copyright Battle of Baker Street; The Conversation, 9/30/13
Matthew Rimmer, The Conversation; Free Sherlock Holmes: the Copyright Battle of Baker Street:
"Who owns Sherlock Holmes, the world’s greatest detective? Is it the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? Or the mysterious socialite Andrea Plunket? Or does Sherlock Holmes belong to the public?
This is the question currently being debated in copyright litigation in the United States courts, raising larger questions about copyright law and the public domain, the ownership of literary characters, and the role of sequels, adaptations, and mash-ups."
