Timothy from Creative Commons writes, “In the US beginning Jan 1, 2019–after a devastating 20 year drought brought on by the infamous 1998 ‘Mickey Mouse Protection Act.’ Creators, commons advocates, librarians, legal activists and others are celebrating in San Francisco at the Internet Archive on January 25, 2019 to mark the ‘Grand Re-Opening of the Public Domain.’ There will be keynotes (including from Cory Doctorow and Larry Lessig), panels with legal experts like Pam Samuelson and EFF, and lightning talks to showcase the important, weird, and wonderful public domain.”
On January 1, America gets its public domain back: join us at the Internet Archive on Jan 25 to celebrate
