"Everything that he says, all of his characteristics, his personality, his sarcasm... that's public domain," Jennifer Jenkins, the director of Duke's Center for the Study of the Public Domain, told NPR. "The spinach, if you want to be on the safe side, you might want to wait."
Duke Law School's Center for the Study of Public Domain has once again rounded up all the most iconic works that have been freed from the bounds of copyright, which also includes sound recordings from 1924. As pointed out by Duke Law School, 1929 was a particularly pivotal year for film, as it was the first with sound.
These are just some of the works entering the public domain this year. The Skeleton Dance from Disney's Silly Symphonies short film series, Alfred Hitchcock's first sound film Blackmail, and various works from Salvador Dali, to name a few.
