Hi Dimi Thanks for reaching out to the list about this. I'm looking forward to seeing the first study.
For the second one, do you think it would be wise to commission more work on 1) the economic impact of the public domain or rather 2) its cultural implications? I was thinking that it would be interesting to get a study about the use of public domain works by contemporary artists. Curious to hear your thoughts on that.
