[pd-discuss] The Public Domain Review's Class of 2014

Tue Dec 10 20:56:16 UTC 2013

I know that you are careful to restrict the Public Domain Review to works that are in the public domain in life+70 countries, but wouldn't it be better if your graduating class were works that have entered the public domain everywhere in the world, and hence are eligible to receive a CC PD mark?

My worry is that a non-specialist may not realize that the works that you list are not in the public domain everywhere.

Subject: [pd-discuss] The Public Domain Review's Class of 2014

Hi all,

Just to let you know that The Public Domain Review has just published it's yearly instalment of the "Class of..." series, Class of 2014: our top pick of those entering the public domain next year in those countries with a 'life plus 70 years' copyright term.

See the post here: http://publicdomainreview.org/2013/12/10/class-of-2014/

Would be great if you could spread word of the post as much as possible through email lists, social media, etc, and I'd also love to hear your comments: who we might be missing, some useful links to include, etc.

Also any ideas about how we might follow up on this, ideas for projects, collaborations relating to some of the "graduation class", would be very welcome.

Thanks!

Adam.
