Public Domain



Creative work such as books and music that was either never licensed at all or, where the original license has now expired are works that are classified as Public Domain. Work that was published before 1923 falls under Public Domain. What this means is that these works can be used freely, in any manner, without permission from the creator.

The work of Shakespeare is a perfect example of public domain.
