That's great ... I'm a bit nervous as to how they're going to be abused, but we've endured Sherlock and Elementary, could it get much worse?

"Endures Sherlock"?  This is honestly the first time I've heard of anyone not liking that show.

That aside, Sherlock Holmes is the most adapted character in literature with multiple movies, TV shows, comic books, and prose stories.  The original stories still hold up quite well, and I don't think them moving into the public domain will be a bad thing.

I didn't care for Sherlock very much, but I do enjoy Elementary a lot.

I could not sit through the pilot episode of Elementary. It was so bad.
As for Sherlock, I only just discovered it last week on Netflix and have already watched every episode. I'm looking forward to it returning this January.

Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
