Per that article and one it links to, there seems 100 year old (1922) and 50 year old (1972) music to be coming into the public domain, and I'm wondering why this happens in bulk on January 1st and not x years after whatever release date mid-year?
- namibj 5y agoI don't remember ever seeing a copyright date more granular than the year, in any copyright notices on blogs and source code.
- kadoban 5y agoFrom everything I've ever heard, copyright notices don't mean a lot though, in that regardless of if I put one on my website or not, I still have a copyright on my works.
- kibwen 5y agoWell, at least in the US, copyright wasn't automatic until 1978, which is important context when discussing works from 50 or 100 years ago.
