[pd-discuss] Fwd: Public Domain Call for Arts

Mon Nov 26 09:34:30 UTC 2012

Hi all,

I think the work that Adrian and a few others have done comes in handy

Using DbPedia/Freebase to find works that enter the public domain.

Best,

>  Dear all,
>
> Every year loads of European artistic works enter into the public domain,
> that is, the copyright protection granted to the work expires and the
> material becomes free for use (with or without attribution depending on
> jurisdiction). In 2013 te works from all over Europe passing into the
> public domain are works for which the author died in 1943 will enter into
> the public domain, except in Spain where the author must have died in 1933.
> Some examples of authors that entered into the public domain in 2011 in
> most European countries can be found at
> <http://publicdomainday.org/node/37/><http://publicdomainday.org/node/37/>and include Mikhail Bulgakov, Selma Lagerlöf and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
>
> We are investigating the opportunities of organising an event at the
> European Parliament celebrating the new entrants into the public domain. To
> do this, we must however first locate works from all the member states that
> enter into the public domain. Preferably from many authors, musicians and
> film makers. And we need your help!
> If you know an author, musician, film-maker or other kind of creator whose
> work will come into the public domain in 2013, please put their name and
> some works in the comments. *Since every national copyright law has
> unfortunately its own quirks, we would very much appreciated the help of
> volunteer lawyers to make sure that the works that we will select are
> indeed entering the public domain.* We will maintain an updated list of
> all the works we accumulate in this blogpost:
