web-law-duke-edu-6691		Public Domain Day 2021 | Duke University School of Law			.html	application/xhtml+xml	4573	284	68	Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, Ernest Hemingway's In Our Time, and Franz Kafka's The Trial (in the original German), silent films featuring Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton, and music ranging from the jazz standard Sweet Georgia Brown to songs by Gertrude "Ma" Rainey, W.C. Handy, and Fats Waller. In an abundance of caution, our lists above primarily include works where we were able to track down the renewal data suggesting that they are still in-copyright through the end of 2020, and affirmatively entering the public domain in 2021. Works from 1925 are finally entering the public domain, after a 95-year copyright term. In fact, since copyright used to come in renewable terms of 28 years, and 85% of authors did not renew, 85% of the works from 1992 might be entering the public domain! The 1947 film It's A Wonderful Life entered the public domain in 1975 because its copyright was not properly renewed after the first 28-year term.	./cache/web-law-duke-edu-6691.html	./txt/web-law-duke-edu-6691.txt
