Not only do the longer days give the perfect excuse to actually re read the late stories (I read them all as a child or rather school made us do so) but the reviews of the film seem to be good and this is a nudge to dip one's toes into Mr Cullin's work. The complexity of the authors' imaginations is going to be matched by the litigators?<br /><br />The Hollywood Reporter is covering the story of the litigation. The novel is of course on Amazon and Audible. The pleadings should list the later stories and from there we should be able to find the places to get the texts. <br /><br />Happy reading whether you like this law or this character. trj404https://www.blogger.com/profile/17066906943088048238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513524515428334509.post-54564499832383319972013-09-24T11:44:12.811+01:002013-09-24T11:44:12.811+01:00The web is now alight with stories about the '...The web is now alight with stories about the 'copyright challenge' against the BBC's Sherlock Holmes series - made by so called socialite Hungarian Andrea Plunket - who was once married to Sheldon Roberts, who write and directed a 1954-55 Sherlock Holmes TV series and a later 1980s re-make of Sherlock Holmes & Dr Watson. Her company, unconnected with the Conan Doyle Estate, is cunningly called company The Arthur Conan Doyle Literary Estate and DID at one point seemingly own some copyrights - but not now. The official Conan Doyle website says that Plunket lost a 2001 US court case against Conan Doyle's heir - Dame Jean Conan Doyle and a later 2004 case which went to appeal and one of Plunket's companies, Pannonia Farms, was consequently barred from re-litigating the issue of ownership of the Conan Doyle rights<br /><br />Anyway - its a fun read http://always1895.net/ and more here http://www.conandoyleestate.co.uk/index.php/copyright/Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01868498334405853494noreply@blogger.com
