Be Careful July 25, 2006

I'm sure this book is good, as the other review says, but it should be mentioned by amazon that this is a purely American book.All the information covered within applies to American federal law.The authors recommend "If you want to know whether a work is in the public domain in a forgein country [i.e. outside America] you must research that country's copyright laws"

If you want to know about American copyright law, this book is fantastic.If you want to know about English copyright law, this book is perhaps not for you.

One of the most useful books I have ever encountered November 5, 2004
4 out of 5 found this review helpful

This fat and informative book is a goldmine for anyone interested in public domain works, whether writings, music, art, films or just about anything else. The author, Attorney Stephen Fishman, begins with an examination of copyright laws and the public domain. After that, the book begins each of the chapters on copyrightable materials with a handy checklist for use in determining public domain status, and then launches into a discussion of how to determine the public domain status of such an item. After those useful chapters, the author examines the use of copyrighted and public domain works.

This is one of the most useful books I have ever encountered. It contains most everything you need to know in determining the public domain status of a work, and it is organized in a simple, easy-to-use format (ala the ___ for Dummies books), that is sure to inform the reader, and never lose him or her. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in whether or not something is in the public domain, and thus open to free use.
