On January 1, a new cohort of works entered the public domain, including Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse, the films "Metropolis" and "The Jazz Singer," and the songs “Ol’ Man River“ and “(I Scream You Scream, We All Scream for) Ice Cream.“ Jennifer Jenkins, director of the Center for the Study of the Public Domain at Duke University, highlights some of the newly public works and explains the meaning of the public domain. You can read more about the public domain and new works in it in her Public Domain Day 2023 blog post.
