🎙 Just wrapped up the third part of the Copyrightability Series on the Hourly to Exit podcast, and I've got some valuable insights to share with you! 💡 In this episode, we explored the concept of public domain and what it means for copyright protection.

🔍 Key Takeaways:

- Public Domain Definition: Works in the public domain are not protected by intellectual property laws and can be freely used, modified, and distributed without needing permission or paying royalties.

- Ways Works Enter Public Domain: Copyright expiration, explicit dedication by the creator, government works, and failure to meet copyright formalities are some ways works enter the public domain.

- Public Domain ≠ Publicly Available: Just because something is publicly available does not mean it's in the public domain; it could still be subject to copyright protection.

Tune into the full episode for more in-depth discussions and insights on copyrightability, fair use, and avoiding copyright infringement. Remember, understanding copyright laws is crucial for creators and businesses alike.
