Patrick Vanhoucke<p>Meemoo, de Universiteitsbibliotheek Gent, de Koninklijke Bibliotheek van België (KBR) en Wikimedia België organiseren op 15 februari a.s. weer samen de jaarlijkse Publiekdomeindag. Benieuwd naar de acties die verschillende instellingen voor cultureel erfgoed in 2022 ondernamen om hun publiekdomeincollecties toegankelijk te maken?

It’s Public Domain Day 2023 and lots of interesting works from 1927 are entering the public domain. Newly PD films I’d recommend are Metropolis (Fritz Lang), Wings (William A. Wellman) and Sunrise (F.W. Murnau). Archive.org is a good place to find them, e.g. archive.org/details/metropolis

"Wie an jedem Neujahrstag feiert Wikimedia Deutschland gemeinsam mit Wissens-Aktiven weltweit auch heute den Tag der Gemeinfreiheit. Denn immer mit diesem Datum endet der urheberrechtliche Schutz derjenigen Werke, deren Urheber*innen siebzig Jahre zuvor gestorben sind – heute also von Personen aus Kunst, Literatur und Wissenschaft, die bis 1952 lebten." #publicdomainday2023

Continued thread

"The Library of Congress can now authoritatively report that the loss of American silent-era feature films constitutes an alarming and irretrievable loss to our nation’s cultural record. […] we and future generations have already lost 75% of the creative record from the era"

It's entirely possible that copyright trolling has destroyed part of the cultural record, and without the 1998 extension these films may not have been lost.
