Get ready for an onslaught of cheap Jim Morrison merchandise.

The copyright for the legendary Doors frontman is set to expire in 2022, according to the Washington Post, meaning the rights to his name, image and work will become public domain in just days.

Other copyrights set to expire in 2022 include those for Winnie the Pooh, singer Marnie Smith and novelist Ernest Hemingway.

What band or artist has the most knock-off merchandise?
