When DO works enter P.D

  • 70 years after authors death
  • If author is anonymos, 120 years after date of creation
  • 100 years for the publishing company

The second someone finishes their work, it goes under copyright law automatically

But, after 70 years of the creators death, it enters the public domain anyone is free to use it however one wants

Are things I make under copyright law or in the public domain?

Your Works are under copyright law.

Untitled Slide

  • For example, I drew the elephant in the last slide, so i own all rights to it
  • So, unless I give someone else permission, then no one can use it

There are many things that are under copyright law

But there are just as many that are in the public domain
