400,000+ Sound Recordings Made Before 1923 Have Entered the Public Domain | Open Culture
“According to the act, all sound recordings prior to 1923 will have their copyrights expire in the US on January 1, 2022,” says the Public Domain Review. This straightens out a tangled legal framework that previously wouldn’t have allowed the release of pre-1923 sound recordings until the distant year of 2067.

Notes to myself continued
Yesterday I wrote about preparing for a discussion about Mutual Aid at my Quaker meeting this Sunday. Describing the use of queries, and then coming up with an initial series of questions.
Now I’m outlining the major topics to discuss. An hour isn’t much time, and the point of queries is to allow people time to respond to them.
I think I should begin by telling the story of how the Spirit led me to connect with Ronnie James, and how he mentored me about Mutual Aid. And then my experiences of being in that Mutual Aid community. It is important to speak from our own experiences.

Só assim, você passa pelo processo de autorreconhecimento, tornando- se uma pessoa autônoma, no exercício de descobrir a si mesmo; descobrir também a vida, e seus significados “.

” I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, só I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I’II stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah “
Leonard Cohen. Hallelujah
