Happy Public Domain Day! This article focuses on what href="https://web.law.duke.edu">entered the public domain in the United States today, with a bit on specific elsewhere. The case of Peter Pan is weirder than I'd realized: the play has been performed since 1904, but the script wasn't published for copyright purposes until 1928. It's now public domain in most of the world, but in the UK the Great Ormond Street Hospital has the right to royalties on Peter Pan in perpetuity.
Thank you,
