3. Why did they pick 1930 as the cut off?

Seems a bit random. Broadcast radio begins in 1922. That likely has a homogenizing effect on culture, language and regional accents. Talkies begin in 1927. But I assume this thing was trained on print (?)

Hmmmm. Is it because 1930 and prior is in public domain?
