Captain Copyright Expires.
The Canadian superhero Captain Copyright has finally expired,
not due to pirates or to the passage of 50 years after the death of the
author, but because "the current climate around copyright issues will
not allow a project like this one to be successful." The cartoon was
intended to provide an education in copyright law for children, but it
became a focus for criticism when even the Canadian Library Association
condemned it for lacking balance because it ignored issues like Fair
Dealing (Canada's version of Fair Use). Personally, I was hoping we'd
see them get sued by DC & Marvel, who claim to own the trademark on the word "superhero", and vanish in a puff of logic. [Slashdot: Your Rights Online]
