Happy New Year

Everyone here at the Student Chapter of the Society of American Archivists would like to wish everyone a happy new year. January 1st was also Public Domain Day, which is a celebration of all the works that enter the public domain every year due to copyrights expiring. To that end an interesting article on the subject was posted to the archives and archivists listserv. Titled "Public Domain Day 2011: Will the tide be turned?" it is an exploration of the progress that is being made towards less restrictive copyright laws.
