Unlocking the Public Domain Abstract Public Domain Day, celebrated January 1st of every year, is a relatively new holiday, which has the potential to grow rapidly as 2019 marked the first year in 20 years in the United States that new works were added to the public domain. This article showcases Texas Tech University Libraries’ “Public Domain Day: 1923 Unlocked” exhibition and outreach efforts as one approach, but also highlights other intuitions’ promotions and suggests ways to connect to larger initiatives. Cultural heritage and visual resources professionals can adapt this celebration as a way of advocating for the public domain, educating on copyright literacy, bringing attention to newly public domain collections materials, and exciting and empowering the public. The growth of the public domain enriches many of our missions and goals including supporting creativity and preserving our past and should be celebrated and protected. Keywords public domain, Public Domain Day, copyright, Creative Commons, outreach, advocacy, information literacy Author Bio & Acknowledgements The uthora would like to acknowledge all the people that participated in and contributed to the “Public Domain Day: 1923 Unlocked” exhibition and events.

This 20 year lag was due to segments of the 1998 Copyright Term Extension Act, often referred to as the Sonny Bono or Mickey Mouse Copyright Act. Before its passage, the previous law had scheduled copyright expiration on January 1, 1999 for works published in 1923, but the act added twenty years to works originally copyrighted after 1922 and renewed before 1978. Many works published in 1923 have finally entered the public domain after 95 years under copyright, releasing restrictions upon their use in copying, publishing, editing, and other creative and intellectual pursuits. Google Books, Project Gutenberg, Internet Archive, and HathiTrust celebrated by making tens of thousands of works instantly accessible. HathiTrust alone opened 43,104 volumes. This number will grow as cultural heritage institutions, liberated to digitize 1923 works, release them for public consumption and creative pursuits. Public Domain Day is a very recent celebration. The earliest documented internet mention is a 2004 post on the Canadian Digital Copyright Forum.1 Duke’s Center for the Study of the Public Domain began yearly posts in 2010, highlighting what could have been added to the public domain had the laws not been amended. Libraries, museums, and other non-profits have joined the efforts in recent years with a strong focus on education and advocacy in their activities. With a new batch of published materials to promote each Public Domain Day starting this year, proponents can focus on expanding the reach and scope of outreach and education events. In contrast to the newness of the celebration, the concept of the public domain was implicit in the construction of copyright law at its inception. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution defines the purpose of copyright: “to promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.”2 Over the years, lawmakers have changed the definition of “limited Times,” but there has always been a fixed term length thereby granting to the public those works that no longer qualify for copyright protection. Public domain and additionally fair use serve as integral pieces to the copyright balance “between the interests of authors and inventors in the control and exploitation of their writings and discoveries on the one hand, and society's competing interest in the free flow of ideas, information, and commerce on the other hand."3 While often couched as an adversarial relationship, maintaining this balance benefits everyone. Creators have the ability to pull from a rich public commons and derive benefits from their labor and the public gets to explore and use creative works through a variety of access mechanisms. Public Domain and Copyright Advocacy In educational and cultural heritage fields, visual resource professionals are stewards and mediators of copyrightable works and therefore have a stake in maintaining the delicate 1 Wallace J. McLean, “Happy Public Domain Day,” Canadian Digital Copyright Forum, January 1, 2004, http://www3.wcl.american.edu/cni/0401/35315.html. 2 U.S. Const. art. I, § 8. 3 Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc., 464 U.S. 417, 429 (1984). 1 VRA Bulletin, Vol. 46 [2019], Iss. 1, Art. 4 copyright balance. Visual resource professionals spend so much time trying to document and communicate the copyright status of our collections, that they often have less time for important services for patrons. Libraries and archives in particular struggle with orphan works, whose copyright owner cannot be identified and/or contacted. Museums and galleries must contend with evolving licensing procedures and use of image reproductions in promotion, education, and scholarship. Therefore, it is unsurprising that engagement with copyright issues has become a fundamental part of many of our professions. Libraries and archives in the U.S. share an interest in reforming copyright law to make the process of providing access to patrons less fraught with exemptions and onerous restrictions. The American Library Association asserts “that copyright will only be effective when it is balanced between the rights of the public and the interests of rights holders” and they place “protection of the public domain” at the top of their summary list of positions.4 The Society of American Archivists states the profession will “advocate for amendments to the Copyright Act that facilitate making archival material available for research and use,” writing that “overlong terms of copyright protection inhibit the growth of the public domain to the detriment of the public interest.”5 In addition, these professional organizations also release issue statements and briefs on key legislation and mobilize their members to advocate directly to the public and lawmakers, making them leading voices in copyright reform. Museum and gallery positions on the public domain can be more complicated, but recent moves of many major institutions to utilize open access, Creative Commons, or other licensing models have begun to address new ways of achieving a sustainable copyright balance. Studies in 20126 and 20167 called out practices where certain museums limited access to reproductions of their works as copyfraud, meaning they restricted the public’s rights to the works in ways that directly misrepresent copyright law concerning the public domain. These policies often run counter to the public mission of museums,8 and many institutions are now charting new paths that support collaboration and engagement, including open access digital collections (recent examples include the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago). As more museums release parts of their digitized collections for open access they see benefits through increased efficiency in staff workflows, higher institutional website traffic, and public relevancy through increased use of their collection in research publications, news sources, and social media.9 As Petri, an art historian and lawyer researching the dynamics between art, law, and 4 "Copyright," American Library Association, last modified January 24, 2019. http://www.ala.org/advocacy/copyright. 5 “Issue Brief: Archivists and the Term of Copyright,” Society of American Archivists, last modified January 12, 2016, https://www2.archivists.org/statements/issue-brief-archivists-and-the-term-of-copyright#.Vz4PA_krKUk. 6 Kenneth D.

The idea is that anyone should be able to turn an Arduino into a simple electronic device such as a light switch and sensor. Type of organisation Arduino is a business based in Italy. History and mission Released in 2005, Massimo Banzi, an Italian engineer and designer, started the Arduino project to enable students at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (IDII) build all kinds of electronic contraptions using an open-source hardware board. The software consists of a standard pro- gramming language compiler and a boot loader that executes on the micro controller. The project first started with 3,000 euros for the pro- duction of 200 units, but when IDDI bought only 50 units, the Arduino team decided to put the remaining units up for sale; and developed a business after realising the board’s broader applications for multidis- ciplinary projects. Arduino has since grown to become popular–selling around 200,000 units in 2011–largely because of its creators’ decision to make the board’s design “open source” and its quick adoption by hobby- ists, artists, scientists, and ‘makers.’ 57 What does it do, and how does this activity enhance social innovation? Arduino is a key player in the international maker movement of D.I.Y.

  • Public Domain Rank: Identifying Notable Individuals with the Wisdom of the Crowd
    Public Domain Rank: Identifying Notable Individuals with the Wisdom of the Crowd Allen B. Riddell Neukom Institute, Dartmouth College March 20, 2018 Version 1.0 Abstract Identifying literary, scientific, and technical works of enduring interest is challenging. Few are able to name significant works across more than a handful of domains or languages. This paper introduces an automatic method for identifying authors of notable works throughout history. Notability is defined using the record of which works volunteers have made available in public domain digital editions. A significant benefit of this bottom-up approach is that it also provides a novel and reproducible index of notability for all individuals with Wikipedia pages. This method promises to supplement the work of cultural organizations and institutions seeking to publicize the availability of notable works and prioritize works for preservation and digitization. 1 Introduction arXiv:1411.2180v2 [cs.DL] 9 Dec 2014 Every year thousands of literary, scientific, and technical works enter the public domain. Works in the public domain are unencumbered by restrictions that hinder their being used, shared, and re-purposed (“remixed”). A high school teacher in Australia may assign students George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four knowing that students will be able to obtain a copy online without cost. A theater company in Canada may stage a play by Albert Camus without requesting—and potentially being refused—permission from the writer’s estate. Evidence of interest in public domain works is not difficult to find. Recent years have witnessed the proliferation of organizations committed 1 to preserving and making accessible works in the public domain.

  • AI & Intellectual Property: Towards an Articulated Public Domain
    AI & Intellectual Property: Towards an Articulated Public Domain Mauritz Kop* Abstract This article seeks to clarify the relation between AI and IP in the information society. It aims to critically examine our intellectual property framework at the dawn of the fourth industrial revolution. In that context, it contends that human authorship & inventorship remains the normative organ point of intellectual property law. Additionally, it argues that extending copyrights hinders innovation, cultural diversity and even fundamental freedoms. Adding extra layers to the existing rainbow of IP rights is not a good solution to balance the societal impact of technological progress. Legislative gaps can be remedied by contracts and generous application of fair use and the three-step-test. Finally, parts of the Roman multi-layered property paradigm can be relevant for AI. Building upon this framework, section VIII of the article includes a proposal for a new public domain model for AI Creations and Inventions that crossed the autonomy threshold: Res Publicae ex Machina (Public Property from the Machine). The introduction of the legal concept of Public Property from the Machine is a Pareto improvement; many actors benefit from it while nobody -at least no legal person- will suffer from it. For illustrative purposes, the article includes a human-machine collaboration example. The examined AI Assisted Creation (a sound recording of a musical work, which can be streamed online) does not qualify as Public Property from the Machine. The article also describes a pure AI Invention that does qualify as Public Property from the Machine and thus could be awarded with official PD mark status: a flu vaccine autonomously brewed by an AI called SAM.

  • Of Public Domain Day, 2014
    IN AMBIGUOUS BATTLE: THE PROMISE (AND PATHOS) OF PUBLIC DOMAIN DAY, 2014 † JENNIFER JENKINS ABSTRACT On the first day of each year, Public Domain Day celebrates the moment when copyrights expire, and books, films, songs, and other creative works enter the public domain, where they become, in Justice Brandeis’s words, “free as the air to common use.” Educators, students, artists, and fans can use them with neither permission nor payment. Online archives can digitize and make them fully available without the threat of lawsuits or licensing demands. Sadly, in the United States, as a result of copyright term extensions, not a single published work will enter the public domain in 2014. In fact, almost no works created during most readers’ lifetimes will become completely free for them to redistribute and reuse, unless the rights holders affirmatively decide otherwise. In this Article, I will briefly trace the history and consequences of this legally imposed impoverishment of the public domain. But, I argue, this is only part of the story. Increasingly, private initiatives are trying to build zones of legal freedom that simulate some attributes of the public domain. At the same time, there are global copyright reform efforts to limit the negative effects of term extension, at least with regard to “orphan works”— those that have no identifiable or locatable copyright holder. Although these efforts are no substitute for a more complete reform of copyright, collectively, they do transform the legal situation substantially. Thus, while Public Domain Day in the United States may seem like an empty celebration, it is also a reminder of this newfound complexity in our copyright landscape.
