Willingham sends Fables into the public domain
Honestly I don&#x27;t think it will change anything. I doubt anyone will touch it without a contract with DC.<p>Public domain is not even recognized in every country which mean that international commercialization of any derivative work would be complicated or even impossible. Even worse, in this case Bill Willingham do not even have contract right to republish Fables. He cannot republish it and add an anti-copyright-notice to it. According to my short research it seems to be a requirement to waive copyright and put something in the public domain according to the Bern Convention. I doubt a blog post is enough, at least internationally.<p>I won&#x27;t expect to see any movie of Fables without DC permission.<p>Feel free to chime in and correct me if you are an international copyright laws expert.
