The Public Domain: How to Find and Use Copyright-Free Writings, Music, Art & More (Public Domain)
by: Stephen Fishman


Editorial Review:

Even though grade-school teachers have told us otherwise for years, you can copy other people's creative work and get away with it. How? By dipping into the public domain, where everything is free for the taking.

The first book of its kind, The Public Domain is the definitive guide to the creative works that are not protected by copyright and can be copied freely or otherwise used without paying permission fees.

The book explains step-by-step how to recognize when a work is in the public domain. Chapters cover:

* writings
* music
* art
* architecture
* maps
* choreography
* photography
* film and video
* computer software and databases

The book also lists hundreds of resources, such as websites, libraries and archives, useful for locating public domain works.

Destined to become a classic reference guide, The Public Domain is indispensable for anyone who deals with creative works, including publishers, web developers, writers, musicians and composers, artists, librarians, photographers and filmmakers.

An Excellent Resource That Can Save You Money:

As an attorney, I've often been critical of books that presume to provide legal advice on complex subjects. They are often poorly written and dangerous to use.

While there will certainly be times when hiring an attorney is necessary, this book... more info

A fantastic resource:

Truth be told, I first borrowed this book from the library, then renewed it, so I see that I will want to have my own copy on hand as reference. It is clear, easy to use, and thorough. There is a ton of information on how to find and use material that is copyright free, making it immensely useful for many types of writers and artists. This is not about profiting off the work of others. Many creative individuals enjoy dipping back into the past in order to create new works, make commentary, or utilize unique... more info

Currious whether your ideas are unique?:

An exceptional source of information on what one can use, where one can find it and when to use it. As an author, I often ask myself the question of what type of sources I can cite in my work, how much of them I cite and what I may not know that can come to haunt me because of this lack of knowledge. And it is with great pleasure that I can say 'Public Domain' answered these questions. The book is a detailed guide to the types of materials and their copyright protection to make me feel safe one when I... more info

Think You Know? Not sure? Well find out!:

Most people assume that everything has a copyright and can not be used free or with the creator's said permission. However, this reference guide makes it easy on how to find and use content in the public domain.
The book first introduces you to what the public domain is and where the gray areas are of dealing with materials within. The reader will also get a lesson on what copyrights protect and what they don't.
Chapters three through 11 cover specific topics of interest to most people regarding... more info
