happy Public Domain Day! the first Winnie-the-Pooh book just entered the public domain in the US
but not Tigger—Tigger wasn't in a book until 1928, so you can't use him in your gritty Hundred Acre Wood noir story until 2024

I mean I GUESS there's the possibility that the Corporate Ratfuckers that own Tigger now will fight tooth and nail to get the copyright term extended again (especially considering that Steamboat Willie is *also* set to go PD in 2024)
but considering that everyone involved in the LAST extension has said how bad an idea it is, I really don't think it's going to happen
