[edit] First digitized gramophone record available
The mission to digitalize our gramophone records starts on October 26th, 2011 with a first flac file. The PD project is proud to present the first test record Purcell: A Trumpet Voluntary in 96-kHz/16-bit. This file is produced without a declicker/decrackler-software. We are still in testing phase, but stay in patience.

[edit] OutOfCopyright.eu makes Public Domain Calculators available for the entire European Union
OutOfCopyright.eu makes Public Domain Calculators available for the entire European Union
"Works that have fallen into the public domain after their term of copyright protection has elapsed can be reely used by everybody. In theory that means that these works can be reused by anyone for any purpose which includes commercial exploitation.
...
In practice however determining if a work has passed into the public domain can prove very difficult. This is especially true when attempting to determine the public domain status of content in multiple jurisdictions. As part of the EuropeanaConnect project Knowledgeland and the Institute for information Law at the University of Amsterdam have developed public domain calculators to answer the question whether a certain work or other subject matter vested with copyright or neighbouring rights (related rights) has fallen into the public domain. These public domain Calculators have been developed for 30 countries (the European Union plus Switzerland, Iceland & Norway) and are available at www.outofcopyright.eu
Users can use the calculators (and the underlying research published at outofcopyright.eu) to determine the copyright status of works in all these countries. This is the first time that this question has been structurally researched across all European jurisdictions.
...
We encourage everyone interested in the public domain to try the calculators, comment on them and re-use the published research. All research and other material on Outofcopyright is available under the terms of a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license and the software powering the calculators can be reused under the terms of the EUPL license
The Public Domain Project is very happy about this anouncement and would like to thank everyone who was involved creating it!
