Évariste Galois died #OTD in 1832.

While still in his teens, he was able to determine a necessary and sufficient condition for a polynomial to be solvable by radicals, thereby solving a problem that had been open for 350 years. His work laid the foundations for Galois theory and group theory, two major branches of abstract algebra. via @Wikipedia

Everything made in 1927 is now #PublicDomain.

Using Moises and #Ardour to remaster old songs from 1927.

Here's a stereo mix of "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover" by "Ben Bernie and His Orchestra"

I think I did a decent job.

#PublicDomainDay #PublicDomain #Copyright


Happy Public Domain Day 2023 🎉

“Public Domain Day (PDD) is an observance of when copyrights expire and works enter into the public domain. This legal transition of copyright works into the public domain usually happens every year on January 1 based on the individual copyright laws of each country.” 📚

There are tons of literary classics that you can finally read freely in your country 👇

«Standard Ebooks is a volunteer-driven project that produces new editions of public domain ebooks that are lovingly formatted, open source, free of copyright restrictions, and free of cost.»

The VidCommons #PeerTube instance is in need of adoption by an organization capable of supporting it, both financially as well as people-wise.

VidCommons is an instance dedicated to #CreativeCommons and #PublicDomain content that I've been funding and maintaining for years. It's intended to provide new instances with something to watch from a singular source, with licenses that encourage resharing and remixing.

If you're interested in talking about it, please read this thread and reach out.

40 years ago, giant entertainment companies embarked on a slow-moving act of arson. The fuel for this arson was #copyright #TermExtension (making copyrights last longer), including *retrospective* copyright term extensions that took works out of the #PublicDomain and put them back into copyright for decades. Vast swathes of culture became off-limits, pseudo-property with absentee landlords, with much of it crumbling into dust.
