Related to Making the Connection] In the court case over whether anyone could use Doyle's
character of Sherlock Holmes without paying a fee, Judge Posner argued that the first Sherlock
Holmes story was written in 1887, so allowing the author's descendants to continue to claim a
copyright to the character raised the possibility of "perpetual, or at least nearly perpetual,
copyright." The judge also noted that the U.S. Constitution had only given Congress the
authority to grant copyright for a limited time. Source: Leslie S. Kling v. Conan Doyle Estate,
Ltd (7th Cir. 2014), media.ca7.uscourts.gov.
Allowing an author and his or her descendants to have a copyright forever on a book or character
has disadvantages including:
A. lost revenue from competing authors.
B. the reduction of new books, movies, and television series based on existing characters that
results from copyright periods.
C. the problems associated with terminating the copyright after so many years have passed.
D. the inability to track the heirs and descendents to pay the copyright.
Allowing an author and his or her descendants to have a copyright forever on a book or character
has advantages including:
A. a more fully developed cast of characters that can be used in future books.
B. incentives that it provides for writers to write books that they might not have written.
C. revenue that generates tax payments.
D. decreased payments to some authors using other authors' characters to produce new books.
Solution
