The Bob Silber
Interview
Internet Attorney Bob Silber discusses the legal aspects of how you can
use the public domain in your business.
In this private call
with Russell Brunson and his "Public Domain How To" coaching clients, lawyer Bob Silber answers
the following questions about the public domain:
|
|
 |
How to protect yourself if you are not
U.S. based, and are selling U.S. public domain material to customers
in countries other than the United States. This is an important
consideration for non-U.S. companies and individuals, because content
that is public domain in the USA may still be under current copyright in other
English speaking countries; |
|
|
|
Where to go to apply for a U.S.
copyright on your derivative work, and the difference between a
"registered copyright" and an "implied copyright"; |
|
|
|
If you register a copyright on your work
in the U.S., does this provide copyright protection internationally? |
|
|
|
Do U.S. publishers register copyrights
in other countries, and did they do so 70 years ago on works which are
now public domain in the USA? |
|
|
|
When I re-publish or resell a public
domain work, are there any restrictions on being able to:
a) re-title the work?
b) remove all references to the original author?
c) remove the original copyright and publisher information? |
|
|
|
What degree of changes do you need to do
to a public domain work before you are able to re-register a copyright
on it as your own derivative work; |
|
|
|
Where to go to apply for an ISBN number
for your own book or work; |
|
|
|
Do you still need to conduct a copyright
search and perform due diligence on pre-1923 works to ensure that they
are definitely in the public domain? |
|
|
|
Do the same copyright laws that apply to
books also apply in the same way to other creative works such as
photographs, illustrations, sheet music, or university course
material? |
|
|
|
If you are creating multiple individual
works, such as the publisher of a newsletter, or a photographer or
graphic designer does, how can you protect your work legally without
the costly and onerous task of registering individual copyrights over
each one of your creations. |
