The Public Domain: How to Find & Use Copyright-free Writings, Music, Art & MoreThis volume explains how to find creative works that are not protected by copyright and that can be copied and used without permission or fees. Public domain works involving writing, music, art, architecture, maps, choreography, photography, film, television, databases and collections, titles, and software are covered. The book also provides an overview of copyright law, how to determine a work's public domain status, foreign publications, the length of copyright protection, where and how notices appear, and legal problems. Doing research in the Copyright Office and what to do if a work is not in the public domain is also discussed. In this edition, Fishman details resources such as Google Books, MorgueFile, Image*After, Hollywood Film Archive, and Creative Commons. An expanded section on copyright case law is presented and the most recent court decisions are described. One of the appendices lists popular songs in the public domain. |
