This is one of those little goldmines that many people are probably not aware of but has made fortunes for several people. If you have been studying internet marketing and wealth creation then I am sure you have heard of people like Brian Tracy, Bob Proctor, Armand Morin and the international bestselling DVD & book 'The Secret' by Rhonda Byrne.
Why have I singled these people out you may be wondering, well these people have made fortunes from legally using other peoples work. Bob Proctor, Rhonda Byrne and Brian Tracy have taken the teachings from the Public Domain book 'The Science of Getting Rich' by Wallace D. Wattles which was published around 1920 and created new products from it which generate huge sales for the.
Bob Proctor took that book, gave it a new cover and turned it into a workable monthly course, he then also created 'The SGR Club' (The Science of Getting Rich) with Jack Canfield and Michael Beckwith, who also appeared in Rhonda Byrne's 'The Secret' documentary DVD & book which was also based around 'The Science of Getting Rich' as well as other public domain books like Charles F. Hannel's 'The Master Key System'.
Joe Vitale (also from 'The Secret') published 'The Master Key System' for himself, they do give name checks to the original writers but they do not have to. Legally they can take those books and re name them if they so wish. Public domain books have been big business for many publishing houses. A public domain book is something that has fallen out of copyright and is available for anyone to publish without paying royalties or licensing fees.
Armand Morin in an interview mentioned that he released his own version of the classic H.G. Wells 'The War of The Worlds' on Amazon kindle and other online eBook stores once he heard that Hollywood were remaking the film with Tom Cruise. He acted on the 'buzz worthiness of the film.
Public domain refers to a specific class of intellectual property that can be used, for free, without asking anybody else's permission. In the United States, works fall into the public domain if:
· They were published in the United States before 1923.
· They were published in the United States between 1923 and 1978 without a valid copyright notice.
· The work was published in the United States between 1978 and March 1, 1989, without proper notice and registration.
· The work was published in the United States between 1923 and 1963 with a copyright that never got renewed.
There are some exceptions to these rules, so you can't just assume something published in 1922 is free for you to use. The exceptions are:
· It was published between 1923 and 1963 with a copyright notice that was renewed prior to the expiration of a 23 year protection limit.
