Hi Kaoru Tanaka,

Thank you very much for your very helpful contribution.

Of the Life+70 authors, which would you, in your opinion, single out as 
being more famous or relevant?
We would be most glad to highlight some of them on
www.publicdomainday.org, which in no way is meant to be restricted 
geographically.

Also, I wonder if you in Japan have ever noticed any evidence of the
so-called "Public Domain effect", that is, the sudden increase
of availability of  the works of authors who have entered the public 
domain.
Some numbers would be most helpful to illustrate the positive
effect (for readers but also to increase competition among publishers)
of the public domain,

Many thanks!
