The copyright law in question states that a work becomes public domain at the '''end''' of the year, a certain number of years after the author (or last author in the case of a collaboration) died. In Canada, that time frame is 50 years. In the U.S., I believe it is 75 years, but copyright renewals were a thing in the States for a time. Because F. Scott Fitzgerald died in 1940 (80 years ago), his work ''finally'' goes into public domain at the end of this year after the 75 year term and the renewal expire. | The copyright law in question states that a work becomes public domain at the '''end''' of the year, a certain number of years after the author (or last author in the case of a collaboration) died.

Great Gatsby seems to be the work everyone is waiting to plagiarize legally. It's been mentioned in several reports on NPR today.
