random thoughts. rants. general nonsense.

Based on the heavy current usage of the character, I thought that he was already in the public domain. Two TV series and a movie franchise -- that's a lot for one character at one time.
 
So basically it means that all those sex fan-fiction Sherlock Holmes stories can be sold completely legally now... Oh boy....

I doubt the Doyle estate made/makes much if any money off those franchises, because they were probably living in fear of super well-funded lawyers making exactly this argument at them. So sure, they might get a few checks, but nothing like what you'd need to license a Batman or something.

No, the estate was probably making its most consistent money from lots of small business with modest publishing projects like this one, only now they got called on it and lost a round in court. Good. :p

It was the first thing that came to mind. All I know is that the B stands for either bitch or bathroom.

It's "seamless". As in "no traces of pasting shit together (seams) were detected".
 
"The editing seemed like nothing." ;)
