To celebrate the role of the public domain in our societies

On this day of great celebrations worldwide, we also invite to celebrate the impressive wealth of knowledge, information and beauty that today, like every year on this day, becomes freely available to humankind. Every year on New Year’s Day, in fact, due to the expiration of copyright protection terms on works produced by authors who died several decades earlier, thousands of works enter the public domain – that is, their content is no longer owned or controlled by anyone, but it rather becomes a common treasure, available for anyone to freely use for any purpose.

Me encuentro, con mi Blog, entre los primeros 100 firmantes en adscribir a este Manifiesto y tuve el honor de colaborar con la traducción de alguna de sus versiones.
