Public Domain Works Entering 2025

In 2025, numerous copyrighted works from 1929 will enter the US public domain, including notable literature, films, music, and art. These works, previously protected for 95 years, can now be freely used and adapted, fostering creativity and accessibility. Highlights include literary classics like Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury," Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms," and Woolf's "A Room of One’s Own," as well as iconic films marking the transition to sound cinema. The public domain entry enables community access and artistic reinvention without legal restrictions, thus perpetuating the cultural and historical significance of these works.
