The biggish book companies that are losing out, because of their titles having gone into the U.S. public domain this week, are the likes of
Random House,
Simon & Schuster, and
Harper Collins. Although sometimes treated as arrogant corporate behemoths on Mobileread, either their armies of lobbyists have massively failed, or -- more likely to me -- they don't have an army of lobbyists.
As for movies released after 1977, that's seems to me about when Rex Reed started using words like mess, pointless, and incoherent in most of his film reviews. So I'm not too upset about that side.
