Project Gutenberg Newsletter January 2013

02 Jan '13

This is the Project Gutenberg Newsletter for January 2013. CONTENTS * Thank you * Public Domain Day 2013 * Michael Hart's house is up for sale * New eBook listings from the past month * Thank you Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to say a great big thank you to Project Gutenberg for the work you do. Thank you Thank you Thank you I tell everyone I know who loves books...and many who would love them... about your site. Thank you for this great selfless and wonderful service to humanity. Edith N-J Kampala, Uganda * Public Domain Day 2013 Thanks to Duke Law for highlighting what WOULD have become public domain in the US on January 1, 2013 if copyright term extensions had not intervened. http://web.law.duke.edu/cspd/publicdomainday/2013/pre-1976 When Michael Hart started Project Gutenberg, January 1 was a great day. Every year, items from 75 years previous would enter the public domain. We had a schedule of items going into the public domain... in 1998, we had begun to digitize items first published in the US in 1922. In 1999, we would have started items from 1923. This was forestalled by the copyright term extension act of 1998. Today, it will be the year 2019 before anything new enters the public domain. Project Gutenberg is working with partners to fight against the next extension to copyright, which will surely be a subject of legislation in the next few years. * Michael Hart's house is up for sale The executors of the estate of Michael S. Hart, Project Gutenberg's founder, would like to announce that Michael's house is now for sale. The house is located in Urbana, Illinois. It is a 110+-year old house with some spectacular features, but in need of some updates, fixes and care.
