    Public Domain Day. It’s the day when many works enter the public domain for use without getting permission from the copyright holder, therefore you could do some really interesting takes on the media. This year, Popeye and Tintin entered the public domain. Last year, it’s was Steamboat Willie, the iconic first Walt Disney cartoon with Mickey Mouse.

    Problem is, Public Domain Day is on 1 January, the same day as New Years Day. People really love to celebrate the latter (not in my country, barely anyone cares about either).
