Our free eBook, "The Plain English Guide to Book Copyright Research" will teach you how to research the copyright status of a book and determine if the book is still copyright-protected or if it is in the Public Domain.

You might need to determine if a particular book is in the public domain or is still protected by copyright. If protected, U.S. copyright laws and international copyright law will inhibit your ability to reproduce, digitize, or use the book that is defined by law or permission from the copyright owner. If the book is in the public domain, you may reproduce, alter, and distribute the book because it is free of copyright limits and restrictions. Almost all original writings are eligible for copyright protection, and copyrights last a long time. Copyrights eventually expire, which places the work in the public domain.

This free eBook will guide you through the process of tracking the duration of copyright on a specific book, and in process will tell when it may have entered or will enter the public domain. The process may not be as easy as it should, but a handful of online resources now make it much simpler. The effort can also produce important and useful results. This eBook is principally about books, but the rules of copyright and the process for searches of copyright status are similar for other published works.
