If you are in the EU or the UK then copyright on Tintin will not expire for another 29 years.

In the UK they apparently have a maximum 95 year term.

EU law was harmonised by setting minimum (not not maximum for some reason) terms of life +70 for most things (I think recorded music is an exception).




Typo, just spotted. Should read "In the US they apparently have a 95 year maximum term"

In the EU they brought books that had expired copyright (e.g. in the Uk which used to be life +50) back into copyright. This also did not happen in the US when it extended copyright to life + 70).
