The law of copyright music, on Listening Lyrics – March 13, 2026

Fri, 03/13/2026 - 4:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

ChatGPT Image Mar 16, 2026 at 10_13_52 AM.png

Welcome to Listening Lyrics on KDRT. Today’s program is called “1926: The Sounds That Just Became Free.” Every year, music recordings reach the end of their copyright life. In 2026, recordings made in 1926—exactly 100 years ago—enter the public domain. That means the music that shaped early jazz, blues, and country can now be shared freely again. Tonight we travel back a century, to hear the sounds that helped invent modern music.
