I’ve been trying my best to wean myself off commercial entertainment for the last ten years or so. A boring life, yes, and refusing most hobbies out of ethical principle makes it extremely hard to make friends, but at least I’m mentally prepared to go live as a hermit in the middle of nowhere when push comes to shove

I wonder, if we apply the strictest rule of “100 years after the death of the last co-author” for the work to enter the public domain worldwide in all jurisdictions (as some have life + 50, 70, and the longest is up to 100), how long do we have to wait to remix Metropolis with no legal repercussions? 71 years to go, more or less?
