Sherlock Holmes will be allowed to respect women in 420 days
The thing is, I don’t disagree with you! However, the Doyle estate does, and they get litigious over it. Seriously, they’ve tried to sue SH adaptations on the grounds that he respects women in them, which he didn’t do in until the stories that are still under copyright. (Convenient, isn’t it?) So only when all the stories are in the public domain will Sherlock Holmes be Free
@beast-glatisant The Doyle esate sued the “Enola Holmes” Netflix show about an OC Sherlock’s younger sister, for copyright infringement, with the argument that only after the 1920s, in the still-copyrighted stories, did Holmes “became capable of friendship. He could express emotion. He began to respect women.”
The court threw out the case because that was patently stupid, but they keep trying it. Only in 2023 will Sherlock Holmes finally be free.
