Milton Guevara, NPR; Freed From Copyright, These Classic Works Are Yours To Adapt
""Copyright has been overextended so many times, largely at the behest
of major copyright holders," says author Naomi Novik. "Even though what
that actually does is inhibit people from creating new works and
sharing these older works." Novik is a founding member of the Organization for Transformative Works,
a nonprofit that focuses on preserving fan fiction and art — that is,
work created by fans, based on characters and worlds from their favorite
written works, film, and TV, which can occasionally come into conflict
with copyright law.
"For a character to live, that character
has to belong to the audience," says Novik. "Works of art are meant to
nourish our collective understanding; they're meant to nourish our
conversation."
Duke Law's entire list of works that entered the public domain this year can be found here."
