from the nicely said department
Evan Hunt has a long-ish post about ways to understand environmentalism, both for tangible and intangible resources. As he writes, protecting the commons is about making sure that in the future “you won’t have to be rich to breathe fresh air” — or work for a major studio to be free to build upon our past with film. I love work that pulls together different fields into a common frame. This does it nicely. Continue reading

cutting libraries while killing the commons
Commons-blog has a nice link to a story about Milwaukee libraries being defunded. Yet at the same time, extensions of copyright terms simply increase the cost of getting access to content. If every librarian signed our Reclaim the Public Domain Petition, then perhaps we could rebuild a public domain that could make the costs of libraries fall. Continue reading

a picture of the public domain
Cabinet Magazine has a great graf that shows the stagnation of the public domain, as well as an interactive version showing the same. If the numbers are right, then this battle to restore (in effect) a renewal requirement is the most important battle to reclaim the public domain that we could wage. Continue reading

directors and actors for the public domain
We have posted another letter written to members of Congress from directors and actors about the threat that endless copyright terms creates for our culture. As the letter argues, most of the film from the 1920s and 1930s is not commercially exploited, which means most of the film from the 1920s and 1930s sits unpreserved and rotting away. But because of copyright regulations, it is effectively impossible to restore this film until the copyright expires. And when weill that be exactly?
Meanwhile, we’re approaching 12,000 signatures, which is great great news. Please help spread the news. Continue reading
