[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 1949965, member: 3649"] I would be very, very surprised indeed if those entered the public domain any time in the near future. [url="http://www.copyright.cornell.edu/training/Hirtle_Public_Domain.htm"]http://www.copyright.cornell.edu/training/Hirtle_Public_Domain.htm[/url] seems to indicate that the term would be 95 years (I'm assuming that whatever entity holds those rights has long since done the renewal process, and look for that to go up. I don't even pretend to understand international treaty law and such, but I'm pretty sure the EU is signatory to the various treaties that govern such things and so would abide by that limit as well? In the case of the Mythos, the entire thing would probably be moot. Lovecraft didn't have a problem with any of his buddies using mythos names, places, etc, and I've seen many, many modern horror writers use them as well. [/QUOTE]
