  Might give George Martin some incentive to finish Winds of Winter though.

    I don’t think he even knows how to finish it

      Oh yeah I agree. It’s got to be a challenge to bring all his characters and plot lines together. Sadly, I think the show is the only ending we are going to get.

        I think it is the Lost problem. He’s got all these hints and foreshadowing going and no idea where they’re actually going. Disappointing and evidence of lazy writing, so I’ve stopped reading his works overall

  Yeah but if someone wants to write their own sequel to a first book, before the series is done, that’s fine. Still not canon, just fanfic that can make a profit, and that sounds fine to me.

    What happens when grifters generate a billion AI knockoffs and an artist can’t protect their intellectual property

      The above was advocating for a 25-year period between publishing and public domain. They’ll have to somehow pay that mortgage with a quarter of a century of profit somehow.

      New books get new protections anyway, so a 25-year-old series only loses book 1 to public domain. They can also release new editions of book 1 with new (canon) content, and those new things get new protections, too.
