I wonder, if we apply the strictest rule of "100 years after the death of the last co-author" for the work to enter the public domain worldwide in all jurisdictions (as some have life + 50, 70, and the longest is up to 100), how long do we have to wait to remix Metropolis with no legal repercussions? 71 years to go, more or less?
