Another weird public domain question that comes to mind - if you're from a country where a property is in the public domain, create a work using that property, and then release it internationally - would the work you've created have to be licensed in any other country where it's released, or would Rule of the Shorter Term apply?
As an example, in Canada, the literary character James Bond is partially in PD, and works such as License Expired were written by Canadian authors with this in mind. That said, License Expired hasn't ever been released outside of Canada. Is this because it would also require Bond to enter PD in the country in which the work is released?
