New public domain samples released in Jan 2022

Lots of new works enter the public domain today, in the US at least, thanks to a federal law going into effect. Plenty of audio recordings in there!

It aches that we can’t legally use work from less than a hundred years ago or so.
Feels like the time to read Lessig’s Free Culture again.

It’s nuts. Copyright has nothing to do with its original purpose.

I don’t really sample much pre-made music stuff, partly because it’s such a pain. But I’m a sucker for some good spoken-word recordings.

As good as any other reason to not patronize Disney when possible. FX’s Reservation Dogs and What we do in the shadows i am weak for :frowning:

Loved Reservation Dogs. One of the best new shows last year.
