The event brings together organizations, musicians, artists, activists and thinkers to celebrate the works entering the public domain in 2020, and highlights the need for limits on copyright to improve access to knowledge, foster creativity and build a healthy society. Public Domain Day is collaboratively organized by the Internet Archive, SPARC, the Institute for Intellectual Property & Social Justice, Creative Commons, Creative Commons USA,  and the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property.
