from Sooth:
"nice read on copyrights:
http://web.law.duke.edu/cspd/publicdomaindayso, in 2019, will DCM [and CB+) be ready to start hosting Gold Key books up to 1977
pretty much everything that was published between 1923 and 1977 will be public domain in 2019 if no new laws come in effect"
end quote
don't count on the big boys like Marvel/DC/Archie
but Gold Key , Dell, Harvey, Atlas (70s version), Skywald, Charlton, etc all the Dead publishers prob EC too, here's hoping. (EVERYTHING published up to 1977 is already PD in Canada and Europe) as of Jan 1, 2017
But,
in all likelihood the Mouse will bribe/extort every single member of both houses of congress as they have done in the past and achieve another 20 yr extension in the US
