Happy Public Domain Day 2024!
May you cheerfully cruise into the new year like Mickey Mouse in Disney's 1928 cartoon 'Steamboat Willie' – now in the Public Domain in the United States and many other jurisdictions! #publicdomainday
It is Public Domain Day!
Every 1st of January, Wikimedia communities around the world celebrate art and science that enter the Public Domain and are now free to use by everyone.

Can't quite believe this is happening, but Congress is gone so the law is not changing!

@publicdomainday@wikimediapt@rnbp_pt@ANSOL And because we all know the internet is all about cats, here's a Public Domain cat, an (untitled) drawing by Portuguese "Ofélia Marques", whose works enter in the Public Domain today! 🥳
Happy #publicdomainday from Spain! The Spanish National Library (@BNE_biblioteca) has published a cool interactive map featuring the authors whose works are entering the Public Domain under Spain's unique 80-year (!) copyright term today: https://t.co/prbEyKuGyN
🗓️🧵🧶Dia 1 de Janeiro, comemora-se o Dia do Domínio Público e a festa por cá será no dia 6 de Janeiro na Biblioteca Nacional. Haverão palestras e workshops. A participação é gratuita. 🧵🧶
@LancsLibraries Careful – this only applies under United States copyright law which has a unique term of protection. In the UK (and in the rest of the world), the law is different: Hesse's works are protected until 2033, Doyle's are already free since 2001, and Woolf's since 2012.
Frohes neues Jahr und happy #PublicDomainDay 2023. Wir feiern den Tag der #Gemeinfreiheit! Viele Werke sind ab sofort ohne urheberrechtliche Einschränkungen verfügbar und können z. B. in #Wikipedia genutzt werden. Mehr dazu von @lukasmezger im Blog 👉 https://t.co/GNtqSVE0n7

Happy Public Domain Day 2023! Let's celebrate in style with Erma Bossi's fun painting "Circus", which just entered the Public Domain – meaning it is now free to re-use and remix by anyone! #publicdomainday
