  • Value of the Public Domain | Congress | Statutes and Treaties | Legislative Materials | | Other Sites | Opposing Copyright Extension Home Page |
    Subverted PD List | About Term Extension | Constitutionality | Media | Letters | Value of the Public Domain | Congress | Statutes and Treaties | Legislative Materials | | Other Sites | Opposing Copyright Extension Home Page | Some Famous Works and Year of First Publication (Subverted Public Domain List) Dennis S. Karjala Professor of Law Arizona State University This list shows a few works of music, literature, and film that, as far as I can tell, were first published in the years shown. The "Subverted Public Domain" begins with the year 1923. Works published in that year would already be in the public domain but are still protected by the legislative swindle known as the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998. Any United States work published before 1964 lost its copyright in the 28th year after publication unless the copyright was formally renewed at the Copyright Office. (Congress made renewal automatic for works published after 1963, so most of those works are, and for a very long time will be, under copyright.) To check on the copyright status of works from the 1923-63 era, it is therefore necessary to determine whether the copyright was renewed. See How to Determine Whether a Work is in the Public Domain, and links contained there, for more details. Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden was published in 1911, so it went into the public domain on Jan. 1, 1987. Its entrance into the public domain has spawned a huge outpouring of new and creative derivative works, including plays, musicals, video and audio cassettes, annotated and searchable online versions, and even cookbooks.

  • SEMESTER at SEA COURSE SYLLABUS Voyage: Summer 2014
    SEMESTER AT SEA COURSE SYLLABUS Voyage: Summer 2014 Discipline: Drama DRAM 3040: Musical Theatre History Upper Division Faculty Name: Nancy Carr Pre-requisites: None. COURSE DESCRIPTION: Whether you love the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals like The Sound of Music, Stephen Schwartz’s sensation Wicked, the rock musicals American Idiot and Mamma Mia or the new movie musicals Rock of Ages and Les Misérables, this class will examine them all. Taught by a professional actress and professor who currently has a student on Broadway, this class will explore many of Broadway’s milestone musicals complimented by a collection of over 400 video clips, original Broadway cast albums, scores, librettos (scripts), audio clips and photographs. Students will immerse themselves in the world of the musical by studying some of the most influential composers, lyricists, directors, choreographers, and performers that have contributed to the historical development of this art form. By exploring the language of music, the art of drama and the beauty of dance, you will investigate what it takes to bring musicals from the page to the stage, and what makes them triumph or flop. Students will gain insight into what really happens at an audition for a musical, how the world of musical theatre functions and the effect television shows like Glee and Smash as well as the resurgent popularity of movie musicals are having on the future of both the Broadway musical and its audience. Also, we will examine composers from several of the countries visited during the voyage who have had an impact on the development of the musical theatre landscape including Andrew Lloyd Webber (England), Benny Anderson and Björn Ulvaeus (Sweden) and Irving Berlin (Russia), as well as the work of American composers and librettists who have used the countries we are visiting as settings for their musicals.
