One of the longest-running “Can we publish this?” questions in literature concerns Lady Chatterley’s Lover. D. H. Lawrence first issued his erotic novel in Italy in 1928. The UK and US banned it, and also stymied its copyright. Later court rulings allowed uncensored (and unlicensed) editions. Recently international treaties gave Lawrence’s heirs an opening to reclaim US copyright on the 1928 edition (which my library owns). In 5 days, that claim (valid or not) expires. #PublicDomainDayCountdown
