Public domain work means anything - book, reports,
dramas, plays, manuals. movies, lessons, courses, songs,
photographs, posters, drawings - that is not protected
under copyright law. Under US copyright law all works
published before 1923 and under certain conditions,
works published up to 1978 are in public domain.
A creative work is said to be in the public domain if
there are no laws which restrict its use by the public
at large. There may be no laws which establish
proprietary rights in relation to the work, or the work
or its subject matter may be specifically excluded from
existing laws. An item may be public domain in one
jurisdiction but not another. For instance some works of
literature are public domain in the US but not in the EU.
Works created before copyright and patent laws also
form part of the public domain. The Bible and Qur'an,
the works of Homer and the inventions of Archimedes are
in the public domain. However, copyright may exist in
translations or new formulations of these works.
Although intellectual property laws are not designed
to prevent facts from entering the public domain,
collections of facts organized or presented in a
creative way, such as categorized lists, may be
copyrighted. Collections of data with intuitive
organization, such as alphabetized directories like
telephone directories, are generally not copyrightable.
In some countries copyright-like rights are granted for
databases, even those containing mere facts. A sui
generis database rights regime is in place in the
European Union.
Works of the United States Government and various
other governments are excluded from copyright law and
may therefore be considered to be in the public domain.
'Creative Commons', an organization which promotes
the migration of works into the public domain as well as
copyleft licensing schemes, holds that: Public access to
literature, art, music, and film is essential to
preserving and building on our cultural heritage. Many
of the most important works of American culture have
drawn upon the creative potential of the public domain.
Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life is a classic example
of a film that did not enjoy popular success until it
entered the public domain. Other icons such as Snow
White, Pinocchio, Santa Claus and Uncle Sam grew out of
public domain figures.
