Three panel comic strip one long extra panel along top with a row of grey cars. First panel: long haired blonde person saying “IT'S HARD TO GET EXCITED ABOUT THESE NEW ELECTRIC VEHICLES WHEN I'VE SEEN MUCH MORE AMBITIOUS POSSIBILITIES IN FICTION.” Short brown haired person replies: “SCI-FI FAN, HUH?” Second panel, blonde person looking at book saying “uhh… yeah, sci-fi.” Third panel has an arrow showing what they’re looking at: a page from one of Richard Scarry’s kids books with a mouse driving a car shaped like a pickle, a worm driving a car shaped like an apple and a pig driving a car shaped like a hotdog. Byline: “Tom Gauld for New Scientist”

    TIL that the works of J.R.R. Tolkien passed into the public domain in NZ and Canada this year (life plus 50 years)… but also won’t for another 20 years in much of Europe, and 40 years in the USA…

    & peeps: What on Earth does it mean if someone writes a derivative work here in NZ and then tries to republish it overseas? Or if it is published here and then imported to a different country via the internet or otherwise?

    Please retoot so this post finds a person who can answer it!
