Considering that Miyamoto has around 20 years or more until his last breath, Super Mario bros will enter in public domain next century. Unless we manage to outlive a tortoise lifespan then I don't see anyone here witnessing that or even having the cognitive ability to react to that |
That is for works by a single creator, such as an author. If it is collaborative work such as film and video games, it is 95 years after release. So in 2080 actually.
Which is an absurd amount of time if you ask me. Super Mario Bros. should already be in the public domain imo.
