When I Leave the World Behind : Queline Meadows
this year’s top winner in the #InternetArchive #PublicDomainDay Film Remix Contest. These remarkable films not only reimagined and transformed public domain works but also demonstrated the boundless potential of remixing creative works to create something new.
All on-screen text comes from public domain books, periodicals, and sheet music. The music is Henry Burr’s 1915 recording of Irving Berlin's “When I Leave the World Behind.”

Auch @irightsinfo berichtet über den diesjährigen #PublicDomainDay und den Ablauf der Urheberrechte an den Werken von Frida Kahlo und Henri Matisse – ich komme in dem Beitrag ein paar Mal zu Wort: https://mastodon.social/@irightsinfo/113825720519431971
The newest episode of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio's weekly hour-long #AccordionNoir alt-#squeezebox radio program, a look at squeezy music entering the public domain in 2025, is up online and available for your listening enjoyment via https://accordionuprising.wordpress.com/2025/01/17/accordion-noir-radio-playlist-2025-01-15-welcoming-to-the-squeezebox-public-domain-in-2025/
Der 1.1. ist ein erfreuliches Datum. Zahlreiche Werke werden #gemeinfrei – verlieren also den Schutz durch das #Urheberrecht, da die verstorbenen Urheber*innen mehr als 70 Jahre lang tot sind.
Dazu gehören seit ein paar Tagen auch die Arbeiten von Frida Kahlo und Henri Matisse. Doch unterschiedliche Schutzfristen, z.B. 100 Jahre in Mexiko, erschweren die #Gemeinfreiheit.
Mehr dazu sowie verschiedene Ressourcen für gemeinfreie Werke in unserem Blog: https://irights.info/artikel/public-domain-day-2025-frida-kahlo/32420
Need some reading for by the pool or by a fire (depending on your location in the world!)...
Here is a list of free books as part of 'Public Domain Day 2025'.
Auch im neuen Jahr rückt die Universitäts und Landesbibliothek Tirol im Rahmen ihres regionalen Sammelschwerpunktes mit Else Hammer und Raimund Berger wieder zwei Literaturschaffende, deren Werke mit 2025 gemeinfrei werden, „digital“ vor den Vorhang.

@KuudereKun I've also written on #PublicDomainDay, this time about movies that are in the copyright for far too long. And I'm not talking 95 years after initial release.
The post isn't in English and it lacks a histogram (Excel couldn't make it), but you should enjoy it as well.

Good Books Now In The Public Domain
In addition to being the first day of the New Year, January 1 is also known as Public Domain Day, when titles previously under copyright enter the public domain in many countries, including the U.S.
This year’s titles include a host of good books by some authors you might have heard of including William Faulkner, Earnest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, Dashiell Hammett, Thomas Wolfe, Sinclair Lewis, Edith Wharton and Mahatma Gandhi among others.
Standard EBOOKS is celebrating by providing links to twenty of the titles available to download in different formats that should work with most ebook readers.
These book titles, were first published in 1929. I won’t get into the length of copyrights and all the issues surrounding that, but instead say this is an interesting collection of works, some early or first works by some of the authors listed above.
Keep in mind that on Public Domain Day a number of titles in other media also entered the public domain. Duke University publishes a more extensive, but not complete list that includes titles of plays, movies, characters, music compositions, art, and sound recordings. The date for sound recordings is 1924 and includes Rhapsody In Blue by George Gershwin.
You can find more of my writings on a variety of topics on Medium at this link, including in the publications Ellemeno and Rome. I can also be found on social media under my name as above.

I have not seen enough people talking about this. Remember all the fuss about #MickeyMouse becoming #publicdomain last year and how you weren't supposed to draw him with gloves, have him talk, etc?
Some of those aspects first appeared in films that became public domain in the US this year! I have yet to watch all of them to find out what we can get away with, but this is important news to any other evil little gremlins.
We can now freely create and share works featuring a Mickey Mouse closer to the modern version that people know.

just realized Public Domain Day was yesterday! 😭

Public Domain Day 2025
The works of the Austrian writer Fritz von Herzmanovsky-Orlando, of the Jewish Austrian writer and left activist Leo Katz, of the French linguist Lucien Tesnière (inventor of dependency grammar) and of many, many others are now in public domain.
The list contains an impressive compendium of human knowledge and creativity.
