Doyle has been dead for 84 years, but because of extensions of copyright terms, ten of his fifty-six short stories continue to be protected from copying. All of the short stories and four novels were published between 1887 and 1927, but all of the collection except ten short stories have entered into the public domain as copyrights expired.
The DOI book didn't quote
four lines from a 70+ year old song because of high fees. But, this is even more silly, even without the
claim raised. This sort of thing is patently ridiculous.
