This is something I don't know about, but would like to know.

The EU/UK is life + 70. However, what happens to a work that was done as a work-for-hire (like a pulp story written and sold to a magazine, without any royalties). When would it go PD?

One of the Doc Savage ghost writers will go PD on Jan 1, 2021. . . .
