The complete Sherlock Holmes

Copyright issues

Whether you may download these texts is decided by your local copyright regulation laws:

United States — If U.S. copyright law applies to you, you may download neither the “Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes”—and the short stories contained in it—nor “The complete Canon” at the beginning of the list (since it also contains the case-book). You might want to take a look at the “U.S. edition” canon instead: This contains everything except the case-book. By the way: For the case-book, the copyright will expire between 2016 and 2023 (see sherlockian.net).

Europe — For all countries in the European Union, copyright seems to expire 70 years after the author's death, thus it should be legal to download all the texts from there (see the Online Books Page).

Canada — The copyrights expired 1980 (see sherlockian.net).

If in doubt, please consult the Online Books Page. It contains a lot of references and examples, and a mass of links to copyright information for many countries.
