Celebrating Open Access to Culture
January 1st is Public Domain Day. It marks the date on which copyrighted works expire and enter the public domain, becoming freely available for use by anyone, without the need for authorization or payment of royalties.
The public domain includes works of art, literature, music, films, and other creations whose copyright term has expired.
Once in the public domain, these works can be copied, adapted, translated, or used commercially by anyone... Did you know?
