Every year, works protected by copyright law are released after 95 years have passed, according to US copyright law

2023 has arrived, bringing with it a series of changes regarding the copyright of worldwide hits in letters and the arts.

Each year, copyrighted works are released after 95 years have expired under US copyright law.

This year, among the most famous works going into public use are, among others, “The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes” by Arthur Conan Doyle and “The Lighthouse” by Virginia Woolf.

Other books released from copyright include Herbert Asbury’s “The Gangs of New York,” Agatha Christie’s “The Big Four,” William Faulkner’s “Mosquitoes” and Ernest Hemingway’s “Men Without Women.”

The films in the public domain are the first feature film “The Jazz Singer”, the film “Wings” known as “Wings of Glory”, which won an Oscar for best picture, as well as the films “7th Heaven” and “Metropolis”.

Musical compositions—the music and lyrics, not the recordings—that are released from copyright include Irving Berlin’s “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” “Black and Tan Fantasy” and “East St. Louis Toodle-O’ by Duke Ellington and Bub Miley and Louis Armstrong’s ‘Potato Head Blues’ and ‘Gully Low Blues’.
