But the question of whom he _4_ was a subject of lawsuit brought by the editor of anthology of short stories by authors writing their own Holmes mysteries.

But if they want to use any telling details from later stories,they need to pay a license fee. Neda Ulaby, NPR News.
但是福爾摩斯的版權(quán)到底應該屬于誰卻經(jīng)常引發(fā)訴訟案件,短篇小說集的編輯以及自己編寫有關福爾摩斯神秘故事的作者會提起訴訟。這項新判決允許藝術家使用1923年以前出版的夏洛克·福爾摩斯故事中的所有元素。這意味著作家可以自由地對邪惡教授莫里亞蒂進行改編,不用支付費用。但是如果他們想使用1923 之后出版的故事中的詳細內(nèi)容,他們就需要支付授權(quán)費。NPR新聞,內(nèi)達·烏拉比報道。
