"Now that the term extension has run out, the spigot has been turned
back on. Each January will bring a fresh crop of novels, plays, music
and movies into the public domain. Over the next few years, the impact
will be particularly dramatic, in part because the 1920s were such a
fertile and experimental period for Western literature, with the rise of
masters like F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway and
Virginia Woolf."

Another article on the first batch of works released from imprisonment
in decades.  Via Joyce Donahue and George Station.
