Eps 73 - Copyrightability Series, Part 3: What Is Public Domain?
Just wrapped up the third part of the Copyrightability Series on the Hourly to Exit podcast, and I've got some valuable insights to share with you! 💡
In this episode, we explored the concept of public domain and what it means for copyright protection.
Key Takeaways:
Public Domain Definition: Works in the public domain are not protected by intellectual property laws and can be freely used, modified, and distributed without needing permission or paying royalties.
Ways Works Enter Public Domain: Copyright expiration, explicit dedication by the creator, government works, and failure to meet copyright formalities are some ways works enter the public domain.
Public Domain ≠ Publicly Available: Just because something is publicly available does not mean it's in the public domain; it could still be subject to copyright protections.
Tune into the full episode for more in-depth discussions and insights on copyrightability, fair use, and avoiding copyright infringement. Remember, understanding copyright laws is crucial for creators and businesses alike.
