About this book

Need content? Find public domain works free for the taking!

New creative works are not built on inspiration alone. Writers, artists, and other creatives often copy and repurpose older works. How do they get away with it? Enter the world of the public domain, where everything is free for the taking, and the only secret to unlocking this treasure trove is knowing how to recognize free content and where to find it.

With The Public Domain, you'll get specific information about finding copyright-free writings, music, art, photography, software, maps, databases, videos, and more. Find out:

how to find public domain materials
how to handle challenges to public domain claims
public domain "gray areas"
copyright protections and expirations
use of public domain art or film for advertising or other commercial purposes
web content in the public domain
how to research copyright office records, and
how to get permission to use work not in the public domain.

The 10th edition of The Public Domain is completely updated with new case law, and new developments in the world of international copyright. The book also provides hundreds of resources to help you find public domain works.
