Deep dives
Understanding Public Domain
Public domain refers to creative materials that are no longer owned by an individual or company. This means that songs, books, movies, or cartoon characters in the public domain can be used freely by anyone. The public domain day varies for different types of creative works and different countries. Disney has played a role in extending copyright laws to protect their characters for longer periods of time. While some classic works like Winnie the Pooh have entered the public domain, it only applies to specific versions or interpretations.
