post I wanted to make short and long tracks leave me. We're going to do. There are issues that demand it. Here we go.
On December 13, 1795 a meteorite fell in the village of Wold Newton, England. This is historic.
This meteorite was radioactive and affected occupants of a carriage passed by. Among the descendants of these travelers would be Tarzan, Doc Savage, Sherlock Holmes, Moriarty, Fu Manchu, Sam Spade, James Bond or Arsenio Lupin. Among others. This was invented by Philip Jose Farmer in his two books lives Tarzan (1972) and Doc Savage: His apocalyptic life , (1973) two "biographies" written by the recently late author, and called it the "Wold Newton Family."
The idea that all these classic characters such diverse authors and adventures shared universe is very familiar to us all that we had with The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Planetary and both Alan Moore and Warren Ellis have recognized much they owe to the idea of \u200b\u200bFarmer. Interestingly those who write about these two works obviate this fact.
There are two ways to do this kind of pastiche: take as ancient characters that are already public domain, as Moore did, or make versions, still recognizable differ enough so that the owners of the original characters do not seek out tickles. Both need a strategy like other legal advice, go to heck. Black Dossier is unprecedented in Spain due to copyright issues in Europe.
Reminder: a work enters the public domain or the 50 years since the death of the author or to the 75 of its publication, the most beneficial to the heirs or the company that holds the rights, but this rule varies country to country. American publishers have been managed to achieve legal reforms that allow them to operate indefinitely characters created by authors working for the company, gave up their contractual rights. Remains to be seen What will happen to Superman from 2013. (1938 +75)
"What companies have nose or the heirs, taking advantage of poor grandfather's work," some will think. Well, as you inherit a house or the legacy of the guy who went to make the Americas. And in these cases the legacy is permanent. Intellectual property has an expiration date. The material is not.
At the cost of the useless and harmful Sinde Act has been much talk of the need to change the copyright and adapt to new channels of communication, but not about that. From what I have to talk about is new ways that an author tries to make a living from his work. And above all, to prevent someone outside the building se lucre monetariamente de su trabajo. Que es, exactamente, el mismo derecho que tiene un albañil, un maestro o un frutero.
Pero a quien beneficia sobre todo el copyright es al consumidor de cultura. A ti y a mí.
Ejemplo: en un mundo sin copyright Arthur Conan Doyle crea a Sherlock Holmes en la novela Un Estudio en Escarlata y al día siguiente cualquiera podría escribir historias de Sherlock Holmes, de las cuales, siguiendo el aforismo, el 90% serían basura. En un mundo así Conan Doyle, y cualquiera, se abstendría muy mucho de crear nada. Porque su esfuerzo creativo sería depredado por cualquiera y porque su trabajo posterior sobre el personaje se perdería entre un marasmo de Holmes stories.
And worse, we would have to Hercule Poirot, or Joseph Rouletabille, ni. Neither Batman, The Spirit, Spiderman ... Everything would be Superman stories.
Corollary: The copyright does not serve well understood to make rich with Alejandro Sanz. Serves to make you happy.
