overview of public domain-related events during the year of 2023
Assuming congress dose not extend copyright agin in the next 2 yaers, 2023 is going to be when we finally get alot more goodies. Sure we have gotten a couple of iconic stuff( I mean The Great Gatsby and Charlie Chaplins' The gold rush enter public domain in 2 months) However 2023 will be a massive year as thats the year the several ionic and historically significant works of 1927 , most notably in film,
2023 will be the year Mickey Mouses copyright will expire,Witch alone will make this year notable , however don't worry about Disney, what will likely happen is the the same thing that has happened with Felix the Cat, while hes technically in the public domain, Trademarks prevent us from using him. So all you can do is sell legal copies of the first few Mickey Mouse shorts and remake the shorts with your own characters if you wanted.
However Mickey Mouse isn't the only iconic piece of Hollywood cinema that yaer many classics will enter as well, Such as the first movie with sound The Jazz singer, The first Best picture winner Wings, the American classic Sunrise: A Song Of Two Humans by F.W murrr, The Fritz Langs' masterpiece Metropolis, and Chicago, witch the musical and the 2003 film is based on.
Non movie works that year will include Oscar Hammerstein's Show Boat, To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf, The first book in The Hardy boy series, "S Wonderful" by Gershwin and " Blue Skies" by Irving Berlin
