"Winnie the Pooh" and "The Sun Also Rises" are going public. A.A. Milne's beloved children's book and Ernest Hemingway's classic novel, along with films starring Buster Keaton and Greta Garbo, are among the works from 1926 whose copyrights will expire Saturday, putting them in the public domain as the calendar flips to 2022.
Poetry collections "The Weary Blues" by Langston Hughes and "Enough Rope" by Dorothy Parker will also turn 95 and enter the public domain under U.S. law.
The silent films "Battling Butler" starring and directed by Buster Keaton, "The Temptress" starring Greta Garbo, "The Son of the Sheik" starring Rudolph Valentino, and "For Heaven's Sake" starring Harold Lloyd are also becoming public property.
