5k Survey LXXIII

3701. If you HAD to do your holiday shopping for EVERYONE in only ONE store what store would you pick? >> --- 3702. What's more annoying: the person in front of you driving ten miles under the speed limit on a regular day OR a person who cuts you off doing 10 miles over the speed limit on a stormy day? >> I don’t drive, so none of this affects me. 3703. Define the word TIME without using the word time in the definition. >> No. 3704. What old cartoons do you remmeber watching? >> The only cartoon I remember watching is Johnny Bravo. I don’t know why that one got a pass for a short time, but my father generally forbid me from watching non-”educational” children’s television. 3705. Do you think that people care only about the people they know personally or do most people care about all people? Why do you think people feel that wway? >> Well, yeah, of course people care mostly about the people they know personally. That’s just science.

3706. Are you more like Brak Zorak or Space ghost and why? >> What??? 3707. Would you rather see the movie first and then read the book or read the book and then see the movie? >> I’d rather see the movie first and then read the book, since in so many cases it’s felt like the book was the more impactful and dense version of the story in comparison to the movie. If I see the movie first and I really like the story, imagine how much I’ll love the book, right? Win/win. But reading a book I love and then later seeing a movie based off it has rarely worked out in my favour. 3708. Do you own any audio books? What? >> No. 3709. Why are things the way they are? >> ??? 3710. Do you believe that guns don't kill people and that people kill people? why? >> I mean, both of those statements are some form of true, but putting them together reveals a third truth as well. 3711. What is the best way you can think of to prevent murder? >> I can’t think of any way to prevent murder. 3712. Why is it that in the USA thousands of people are murdered with a gun each year while in Canada only a handful of people are murdered with a gun each year? Sure sounds like the USA is doing something wrong, but what? >> This is not my area of expertise, and I’d advise anyone who was really curious about something like this to not latch onto the first pithy, easy-to-swallow “explanation” you run into. All problems like this, sociological, endemic problems, are far too intersectional and complex to explain away in short terms (especially in an “it’s [x]’s fault” sort of way).

3713. Is there a difference between really being yourself and just being automatic and acting on whims? What? >> I don’t know. 3714. Have you ever strolled through a graveyard? In the dark? >> No, but I would love to. 3715. What is the difference between a good poem and a bad one? >> I don’t have an opinion. I just like some poems and don’t care for most others. 3716. Who really cares about anything? Do you? Do you let it show, all the time? >> I care about some stuff. No, I don’t let it show all the time.

3717. Do you live with passion? >> No, I live with Sparrow. 3718. Do you talk to squirrels? >> Not usually, but it’s not off the table. 3719. Do you kick up leaves? >> Sometimes. 3720. Whuch do you need more: sugar, caffiene, alcohol, drugs, sex, sleep? >> I, personally, need sleep the most out of everything on this list. In fact, that’s the only thing on this list I actually need at all... (well, sugar is arguable, I guess, depending on the form) 3721. What images do you get from the phrase 'human subway'? >> I have no mental image for that phrase, I’m drawing a visual blank. I just... imagined people on a subway, but I’m guessing that’s not the kind of image the phrase is supposed to invoke. 3722. Joe Strummer died. Are you sad? Do you have a fond memory of him to share? >> That’s a musician, right? Yeah, I don’t care. 3723. If you are a guy are circumcised? If you are a girl which do you prefer circumcised or not? >> --- 3724. Does it bother you that in the USA you will be tracked based on what web sites you visit, what online purchases you make and your email will be read by the government? >> It’s somewhat bothersome, yes, to live in what’s basically a surveillance state. But as you can see, I still use the internet pretty heavily, so I’m not as bothered as I could be, I guess. I try to obfuscate my information as best as I can, and that’s all. 3725. Have you ever checked out the online personals? >> I’ve done so in the past. 3726. What do you crave? >> Nothing. 3727. On a scale of 1-10 how tough are you? >> --- 3728. On a scale of 1-10 how tender are you? >> --- 3729. On a scale of 1-10 how good are you? >> --- 3730. On a scale of 1-10 how evil are you? >> --- 3731. What would make a cool coffee table book? >> *shrug* 3732. What's the most interesting conversation piece in your home? >> I have no idea. I’m used to everything in my apartment, I’m not sure what would stand out to a visitor. 3733. If you could get on the mall loud speaker on christmas eve you would say, 'Attention holiday shoppers: >> No. 3734. What are you on the outside of looking into? >> Just the social, interconnected world in general, it feels like. 3735. Are you more of a peculiar purple pie man or a sour grape? >> What? 3736. Who is someone you know should deserve more respect? >> *shrug* 3737. Does the end ever justify violence as a means? If yes, when? >> Probably. I mean, it can’t be the wrong answer all the time. 3738. Care about everything, or care about nothing? Which would be worse? >> Caring about nothing would be worse for me, because caring about something is a direct pipeline to having absolutely any will to live. 3739. Why do so many people on the internet pretend to be pregnant? >> ??????? 3740. Have you ever been the diary Hicks or Brian (same guy, Hicks is the old diary, Brian is the current one)? If yes, what are your thoughts? >> There are so many questions on this survey I flat out do not understand. 3741. What was your new years like in (answer all that you can remember) 1970? 1980? 1990? 1995? 1998? 1999? 2000? 2001? 2002? 2003? 2004? 2005? 2006? 3742. You know the Def Leopard song, 'Love Bites'? Do they actually mean love bites as in it sucks, or lovebites as in hickies? >> I assumed the former. 3743. All you want for christmas is: >> I don’t want anything for Christmas, I’m content to just enjoy the holiday. 3744. If you rearrange the letters in SANTA what words can you make? >> I don’t want to do this. 3745. Say anything: >> is a movie. 3746. Can you feel your life ending one minute at a time? >> Not usually. 3747. Is there something you don't want to talk about? >> Of course. 3748. What is the most offinsive thing you can think of to type here: Who do you think it would offend? >> Why would I do that. 3749. Who would you stop the world and melt with? >> --- 3750. Is there anyone you wish you had never known? >> Nah. I feel that way sometimes just because of the extremely negative effect some people have had on my entire life, but, you know... whatever.

Works Entering the Public Domain in 2020

At the stroke of midnight hundreds if not thousands of books, songs, paintings, etc. first published in 1924 will be entering the public domain in the United States, the second year in a row this has happened after a twenty year extension that went into effect near the end of 1998, and as the year comes to a close let us take a look at some of the highlights of works I find of interest that will soon be available to all, including the first film adaptation of Peter Pan and the first appearance of the character who would later become known as Winnie the Pooh. I should note that for the purposes of this article that I will be focusing mainly on United States copyright law as laws differ from country to country and some of the works below will still be copyrighted in some countries, along with a few that will only be entering the public domain in the United States for reasons that will be explained.

How long copyright lasts

Before diving into the meat of the article, it will be helpful to explain the basics of how long copyrights last and what the public domain is. All creative works are protected for a certain amount of time after fixation and/or publication and after the copyright for a work expires, it enters the public domain where all can use it however they please in most cases. How long that copyright lasts depends on the laws on the country and in some cases the type of work. In the United States, copyrights on all works published before 1978 last for a period of 95 years with a few exceptions. The main exception are sound recordings as, due to a wide range of state and federal legal complications going back decades, none will enter the public domain prior to the start of 2022 when all recordings released before 1923 will become public domain. The other main exception to the 95 year rule is if a work was first published before 1978 and did not have a copyright notice, which released a work into the public domain immediately, or was released before 1964 and its copyright was not renewed after 28 years. These rules only apply to works that were first published in the United States and does not apply to most foreign works as, due to a number of reasons that will not be covered here, many works originating from outside of the U.S. that expired for such reasons had their copyrights restored in the mid-1990s as most countries do not have formality requirements, and even the ones who did largely abandoned them long ago.

In most countries outside of the United States and all works published after 1977 in the U.S , copyrights last for a certain amount of time after the author’s death, usually 50 or 70 years though others have terms that are either longer or shorter. Only a handful of countries have terms outside of that range with a few going as low as around 20 years after the author dies, a few go up to 75 and 80 years, and Jamaica and Mexico have the longest terms with 95 and 100 years after the author’s death respectively. Some, like India, go between the two with a term of 60 years after the author’s death. Sound recordings and corporate works usually have fixed terms, but they not always. Things get even more complicated for movies as while many countries give them a fixed copyright length, others do not and determining the author of a film can be complicated. For the purposes of this article when determining a film’s copyright status outside of the U.S. I will use the laws for movies used in countries such as the United Kingdom and Germany which determines the copyright length based on the last survivor of the main director, screenwriter, and composer.

In many countries, a copyright set to expire in a given year expires on January 1 of the following one. This is why all works from 1924 are entering the public domain at the start of 2020 in the U.S. instead of entering it at various points throughout 2019.

Works entering the public domain outside of the U.S.

While I will be focusing on the United States public domain in this article, I will also try to determine the status of a work in other countries if possible and start off by mentioning a few authors whose works are entering the public domain in countries with life+70 and life+50 terms, with some notable works being listed in parenthesis.

In life+70 countries, all works from authors who died in 1949 will be entering the public domain. Some examples include works by composer Richard Strauss (Don Juan, Also sprach Zarathustra), Margaret Mitchell (Gone With the Wind), and Richard Connell (The Most Dangerous Game). The original 1922 version of Nosferatu, considered to be one of the earliest vampire films and the first (though unauthorized) adaptation of Dracula, is also entering the public domain in many countries including its native Germany as screenwriter Henrik Galeen died in 1949. In life+50 countries works from authors who died in 1969 will enter the public domain including songwriters such as Frank Loesser (Baby, It's Cold Outside).

Works entering the public domain in the U.S.

This is a list of selected works from 1924 broken down into categories:

Music:

· Tzigane by Maurice Ravel

o Ravel died in 1937, so this composition is public domain in most of the world.

· Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin

o Gershwin died in 1937, so this composition is public domain in most of the world.

· It Had To Be You by Gus Kahn (lyrics) and Isham Jones (music)

o Gus Kahn died in 1941, so the lyrics are public domain in life+70 countries. Isham Jones died in 1956, so the music is public domain in life+60 countries.

· All Alone, The Call of the South, Lazy, and What’ll I Do by Irving Berlin

o Irving Berlin died in 1989, so these songs are still copyrighted in most of the world.

Movies:

· He Who Gets Slapped, starring Lon Channey and directed by Victor Sjöström

o Screenwriter Carey Wilson died in 1962, so the film is public domain in countries where the term is life+50.

o The movie is based on a play by Leonid Andreyev that was published in 1914. Since he died in 1919, the play is public domain worldwide and has been for some time.

· Peter Pan, starring Betty Bronson and directed by Herbert Brenon.

o Screenwriter Willis Goldbeck died in 1979, so this film is still copyrighted in most of the world.

o This movie is based on James M. Barrie’s play (which would be published in its final form in 1928) and had his direct involvement. Since he died in 1937, the play is public domain in most countries besides the U.S. (though the 1911 novel version entered the public domain long ago) and a limited exception in the United Kingdom regarding royalties.

Novels and Short Stories:

· A few works by Agatha Christie including the novel The Man in the Brown Suit along with several short stories featuring characters such as Hercule Poirot and Tommy and Tumpance.

o Agatha Christie died in 1976, so these works are still copyrighted in most of the world.

o The Man in the Brown Suit Introduced the character Colonel Race, who would go on to appear in later Christie works such as Death on the Nile.

· The Illustrious Client, The Sussex Vampire, and The Three Garridebs by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

o Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Doyle died in 1930, so these stories are public domain in most countries.

o These are among the last of the original Sherlock Holmes stories. Not including the above stories, only six of the original 56 stories are copyrighted in the U.S.

· The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell

o As mentioned earlier, this work is also entering the public domain in life+70 countries as Richard Connell died in 1949.

o The 1932 film version is also public domain in the U.S. as its copyright was never renewed.

· When We Were Very Young by A.A. Milne

o Since A.A. Milne died in 1956, this book is public domain in life+60 countries.

o This is a collection of poems. One of them, “Teddy Bear” was the first appearance of a character named Edward Bear who would be given the name Winne the Pooh in 1925. Under that name, he would go on to be featured in many stories published between 1926 and 1928.

· Grampa in Oz by Ruth Plumly Thompson

o Since Ruth Plumly Thompson died in 1976, this book is still copyrighted in most countries.

o This is the eighteenth Oz book and the fourth written by Thompson, who continued the series following L. Frank Baum’s death in 1919. All of the Oz books in the “famous forty” published after this are still copyrighted with the exception of seven that were not renewed.

· The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann

o Since Thomas Mann died in 1956, this book is public domain in life+60 countries.

o The first English translation of one of Mann’s earlier works, Buddenbrooks¸ is also entering the public domain.

· The Dream by H.G. Wells

o Since H.G. Wells died in 1946, this book is public domain in life+70 countries.

Comics and Cartoons:

· Roughly 20 Felix the Cat shorts, though some were already in the public domain as they were not renewed.

· Ten of the Disney Alice Comedies.

· Little Orphan Annie by Harold Gray debuted in 1924 as a Sunday and daily strip.

o Since Harold Gray died in 1968, these comics are public domain in life+50 countries.

Works not included above and why:

If you looked at the works listed above some of you might notice a few notable works first released in 1924 that I did not mention and there is a reason for that. In the film section some might have noticed that the original version of The Thief of Baghdad staring Douglas Fairbanks and directed by Raoul Walsh was not listed. Similarly, the original version of Gertrude Chandler Warner’s The Boxcar Children is missing from the book section. The reason I omitted these is because they were already in the public domain since neither of them had their copyright renewed. However, this only applies in the U.S. as both works are still copyrighted outside of the U.S. since Raoul Walsh died in 1980 and Gertrude Chandler Warner in 1979. One should also exercise caution with The Boxcar Children as the similar though heavily revised version published in 1942 did have its copyright renewed along with its sequels. The same is also true of the 1940 remake of The Thief of Baghdad.

In the coming weeks and certainly over the course of the year, I will try to post some of the above works, mainly some of the poems, short stories, and arrangements of some of the musical works.

5,000 questions survey series--part thirty-nine

3701. If you HAD to do your holiday shopping for EVERYONE in only ONE store what store would you pick? That would be hard. Can I cheat and just say online? ha.

3702. What's more annoying: the person in front of you driving ten miles under the speed limit on a regular day OR a person who cuts you off doing 10 miles over the speed limit on a stormy day The person who cuts me off on a stormy day because that could be dangerous.

Why do you think people feel that wway? I mean, you’re going to care more about people you know and love because you know and love them? It hits closer to home.

3706. Are you more like Brak Zorak or Space ghost and why Oh, those characters from that old Cartoon Network show? I remember seeing it sometimes, but was never really into it. It came on late at night, and as a kid sometimes I’d be up late cause I couldn’t sleep or didn’t feel well and that’d be like the only thing on besides informercials.
