Those old stories are in the public domain since they predate 20th copyright law.
- dmurray 6y agoIs that so different from the Omegaverse case? The earlier authors aren't claiming copyright infringement there (that might actually make for a novel case), the case is being fought between two authors both inspired by the same source material.
- dharmab 6y agoEven if you don't "claim" copyright, the work is still copyrighted. It is not possible to release work into the public domain prematurely.
- chrismcb 6y agoNot all of them, which was my point.
