Happy Public Domain Day 2025

by Copyright Librarian on January 7th, 2025 | 0 Comments

Happy Public Domain Day 2025! This year, we welcome the version of Popeye as the sailor who first appeared 17 January 1929 as a minor character in E.C. Segar’s Thimble Theatre comic strip.

In the United States, each 1 January, the literature, movies, music scores, and other protectable works released 95 years earlier enter the public domain. All materials with authorized U.S. publication dates before 1930 (and all pre-1925 sound recordings) are now in the U.S. public domain as of 1 January 2025.
