bakerstreetbabes: [LISTEN] ¦ [DOWNLOAD] ——————————————- “A civil action was filed today in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the Arthur Conan Doyle Estate by Sherlock Holmes scholar Leslie S. Klinger. Klinger seeks to have the Court determine that the characters of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John H. Watson are no longer protected by federal copyright laws and that writers, filmmakers, and others are free to create new stories about Holmes, Watson, and others of their circle without paying license fees to the current owners of the remaining copyrights.” - Free Sherlock Babes Lyndsay & Curly chat with Holmesian extraordinaire and vigilante Les Klinger about freeing Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, and a host of other characters from copyright. Also mentioned: Shreffgate, Sherlock Holmes 3 (the movie), Sherlock Gnomes, and some pornography. You can find all the information about Free Sherlock at http://free-sherlock.com/ There have been updates in the #FreeSherlock case! According to our friend Mr. Klinger’s Twitter feed: “My Motion for Summary Judgment was up for hearing today before the Court. The ACD Estate again failed to appear. The Court granted the ACD Estate 21 days to file a Response to the Motion. If a Response is filed, I will have 14 days to Reply. Ultimately, the Court will issue a written opinion on the motion, regardless of whether the ACD Estate files a Response.” This is moving quite quickly now, folks…we should have an answer one way or another in a few weeks. -- source link
