| Feb 18, 2019 at 19:13 | comment | added | Shufflepants | Key thing to mention: Even if the original source material is in public domain, most of its other modern retellings are not. So, anything that is unique to a modern retelling that only exists in the modern movie but is not in the original source material will not be in the public domain. So, if you're going to base your story on something, make sure you base it on the original older source, and not some modern movie. | |

| Feb 18, 2019 at 15:58 | comment | added | Tashus | I believe you have a single character typo in the last paragraph. You wrote "Not that all this is only true for works that are in the public domain." This has the exact opposite meaning of what I believe you intended, "Note that all this is only true..." | |
