Works Entering Public Domain in 2021

[olivermoss]

I've made my yearly post on works entering public domain in the US. There is some excitement over The Great Gatsby entering public domain on January 1st.

This year, it's works with a US publication date of 1925 that are entering public domain here. What books, songs, films, musicals or art are you excited to see leave copyright? Or are you looking ahead a few years to when (if my math is right) Sherlock Holmes leaves copyright?

Parts of Holmes canon are already out of copyright.

That is true! But they still do legal challenges, like the current case against Netflix.

The Flight of the Heron by D. K. Broster—definitely one that deserves a wider audience, and I hope public domain status will help :D By a neat coincidence, it (along with Broster's other books) will also enter public domain in the UK and other 'copyright of author's life + 70 years' countries at the same time.

I hope we get another, better, Gatsby movie
