January 1, 2025 - Public Domain Day
Why celebrate Public Domain Day? When copyrighted materials are no longer protected and enter the public domain it enables access to and preservation of different materials that might become lost over time. On January 1, 2025 printed material that was copyrighted in 1929, and sound recordings from 1924 become a part of the public domain.
