| Public Domain Day. January 1st every year. If
| you live in Europe, January 1st 2010 would be
| the day when the works of Freud and Yeats and
| hundreds of other authors ranging from
| Havelock Ellis to Zane Grey emerge into the
| public domain â where they are freely
| available for anyone to use, republish,
| translate or transform. You could copy the
| songs and photos, share the movies, make a
| digital library of the books. Your school
| could create an interactive volume of Yeatsâs
| poems, or publish that cheap educational
| edition of Freud's Civilization and its
| Discontents. You could translate Ellis into
| French, even make a new film based on Greyâs
| classic Westerns. Or you could just send a
| copy to a friend â without asking permission
| or violating the law.
