A. A. Milne will enter in #PublicDomain 1st of January next year in most European Union countries.
He wrote only one crime fiction novel, and I can recommend it: The Red House Mystery@gutenberg_org https://mastodon.social/@gutenberg_org/117144012168954395

For Planet of the Week's art, I turned to those covers of pulp science fiction magazines that are now in the public domain. There were a few I quite liked but didn't find a use for. Here are some of those covers: https://troypress.com/magazine-covers-for-pulp-science-fiction/ #ScienceFiction #PublicDomain #Blaugust

RE: https://mathstodon.xyz/@maxpool/117128107757895678
#IANAL , but from what I understand it is well-established in both German and American law that purely automated processes - and #AI / #LLM definitely qualify as such - cannot generate new copyrighted material. There _has_ to be human-created creative input.
The same applies to digital scans of #PublicDomain works - this is an automated process, and cannot turn a public domain work into something copyrighted. You actually have to do something _creative_ with the scan.
This is fairly important to my own work, since I translate German public domain texts into English, using digital scans of the texts as a base. Since I _am_ adding creative work to the originals, my translations _do_ have copyright.
Sure, I am immediately releasing them under a #CreativeCommons Zero license, which effectively makes them the equivalent of public domain again. But that's my _choice_ instead of something automatic.

#TriggerRally was the easier of the two. It only required two background texture files to be replaced, from two castles from Scotland. Admittedly, I did not do the actual work, but at least I helped with the image search. Public Domain photography came to the rescue!
