I wonder how much money the Conan Doyle family has made from the rights, over the years. I'm guessing it's either much more or much less than I think. I do think it is a good thing that the family benefited from it for a while. Hopefully they managed it well enough to last.
Now the derived stories are going to be scrutinized for any detail that relies on information published after the cutoff date. Like, if he eats a pastry that didn't get mentioned until the later stories..
