"One of the blessings of what’s been a rough couple of years is that Public
Domain Day is now a routine cause for celebration in the United States. For 20
years up to 2019, very little entered the public domain due to a 20-year
copyright extension enacted in 1998. But beginning in 2019, we started getting
large numbers of works joining the public domain again, and every year from
then on I’ve posted here about what’s about to join the public domain in the
new year.
As I did last year, I’m posting to Twitter, making one tweet per day featuring
a different work about to enter the public domain in the US, using the
#PublicDomainDayCountdown hashtag. Most of these works were originally
published in 1926. But this year for the first time we’ll also be having a
large number of sound recordings joining the public domain for the first time,
published in 1922 and before.
Since not everyone reads Twitter, and there’s no guarantee that my tweets will
always be accessible on that site, I’ll reproduce them here. (This post will be
updated to include new tweets as they appear leading up to 2022, and may be
further updated later on to link to copies of some of the featured works, or
for other reasons.) The tweet links have been reformatted for the blog, and a
few tweets have been recombined or otherwise edited."
