Popeye Goes Free in Europe

December 31, 2008

I yam what I yam for nothing.

“Popeye the Sailor copyright free 70 years after Elzie Segar’s death”

“While the copyright is about to expire inside the EU, the character is protected in the US until 2024. US law protects a work for 95 years after its initial copyright.” Written by Adam Sherwin.
