Book Reviews of The Public Domain: How to Find & Use Copyright-free Writings, Music, Art & More
Book Review: You can find great wealth in the public domain
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great book! Fishman's book gives a comprehensive overview of a subject only one in a thousand knows anything about. The Public Domain.
The public domain consists of art, music, literature, software, etc. that belongs to no one and can be repurposed by anyone for other use.
If you and your community group wanted to stage a musical version of Tom Sawyer set in the year 2502, you can do this very easily as Tom Sawyer (and all of Mark Twain's works) are in the public domain. There are no licensing fees.
Fishman gives you a methodology for finding and locating works and for understanding how to track them down and protect yourself should someone want to press a claim against (most likely spurious)
Highly recommended.
Cheers!

Summary of The Public Domain: How to Find & Use Copyright-free Writings, Music, Art & More
Need content? It's free for the taking!Even though for years teachers have told us otherwise, writers and artists can copy other people's work and get away with it. How? By dipping into the public domain, where everything is free for the taking.
The Public Domain is the only book that helps you find and identify what creative works are protected by copyright?-- and what's not. The book provides specific information about:
*writings *music *art *photography *architecture *maps *choreography *movies and video *software *databases *collections
The 3rd edition is completely updated and revised, and includes information about the latest court decisions and the emergence of the "copyright commons." The book also provides hundreds of resources to help you find public-domain works.
