Public Domain 2025 Usa. Works from 1929 and sound recordings from 1924 are now open to all in the u.s. Many of our favorite works come out of works already in the public domain.

Public domain officially welcomes the comic debuts of popeye and buck rogers, alongside classic works by faulkner, hemingway, and landmark sound films. This year’s crop of newly public artistic creations lacks the landmark vibes of last year’s entrance of mickey mouse into the public domain.
