Romeo & Juliet is probably the best example of how something can enter the public domain and be transformed, over and over again, into something new and occasionally impactful.

80% of everything is rubbish, so why should remixes and riffs off newly public domain properties be different?

Time will filter the crap out, and culture will be enriched by the good stuff.

Like this awesome version?

ETA: I just learned that Tromeo and Juliet was James Gunn’s first film! And he’s the same age as me! And he’s from St. Louis! whew

And what about the son that Holmes had out of wedlock with his housekeeper, Mrs. Hudson? I believe that he eventually went to work for the Wooster family in some capacity?

It would be unseemly to use this material in my opinion, sir.

That Hardin’s tragedy was advanced as part of a white nationalist project should not automatically condemn its merits.

Ah yes, I definitely said burn it all…

No wait, I just said that the people who were immediately jumping on things that had entered the public domain seemed much more concerned with making money than actually creating something worthwhile with the idea. Which, if I’m not mistaken, is also what the cartoon seems to be pointing out.

BTW, this is me disagreeing with your response, not calling for you to be banned. :roll_eyes:
