Happy Public Domain Day

Happy Public Domain Day! In the United States, each 1 January, the literature, movies, music scores,
and other works released 95 years earlier enter the public domain. All materials with authorized
publication dates before 1929 (and all pre-1924 sound recordings) that were published in the U.S.,
are now in the U.S. public domain as of 1 January 2024.
