米老鼠末日倒數兩年。
.
2021年1月1日,1925年的美國電影、書籍與歌曲得以正式進入公有領域。這些作品可供所有人類免費複製、展示與演出,且不必支付任何版稅。今年獲得進入公有領域最引人矚目的的作品就屬史考特.費茲傑羅(F. Scott Fitzgerald)著有的《大亨小傳 The Great Gatsby》。
.
其實這批作品應該早在2000年就進入公有領域,但因為迪士尼為了避免自己在2003年失去米老鼠的版權,於是成功說服國會延長期限以保護其商業利益。目前距離迪士尼失去米老鼠只剩兩年,屆時世人將可以對米老鼠任何事,而不必支付迪士尼任何半毛錢。不過現在最感到緊張的或許是小熊維尼,這個經典角色將在明年進入公有領域。
.
回到1925年,這批作品之中來頭最大的電影是默片明星哈洛.羅依德(Harold Lloyd)主演的《新鮮人 The Freshman》和巴斯特.基頓(Buster Keaton)自導自演的《西部成金 Go West》等作。其中還包括艾瑞克.馮.史卓漢(Erich von Stroheim)的名作《風流寡婦 The Merry Widow》。
.
而文學作品部分,除了《大亨小傳》,尚包括吳爾芙(Virginia Woolf)的《戴洛維夫人 Mrs. Dalloway》、海明威(Ernest Hemingway)的《我們的時代 In Our Time》等作。如果有人想要將這些作品拍成電影並發行、自行撰寫前傳或續集來出版,都不必需要經過任何單位的授權。
.
事實上,在這些作品進入公有領域之前,已有許多野心勃勃的創作者已經開始著手進行改編計畫。知名作家麥可.法里斯.史密斯(Michael Farris Smith)已經寫好了《大亨小傳》的前傳《Nick》,更挑在2021年1月5日出版。內容描寫原作故事的主述者尼克在抵達長島前的生活,內容包括他在一戰時的慘痛遭遇。

Lyrics:
Wake up
Can you hear the gravity
is now on beat
Tell me what is fake and real
On the edge of lie and truth
Can you recognize yourself?
Don’t you remember what they said to you?
The rumors hurt your feel
The rumors against your will
Don’t give it up
Go pursue “your own” freedom and dreams
While they tore us apart
Then we all alone
Now we all alone
So we break it, we break it, we break it
The rule of (d)ark is time to end up
Take your soul back and now stand up
True north of your heart
You will see who you are
Burn to ashes into the sun
Till the end of day you’ll find out from your heart
Seeking the whole rest of brand new world
We break it, we break it, reload the faith in your eyes
We chase it, we chase it, love used to be in our mind
We break it, we break it, we believe the truth won’t buried alive
