Two examples of material in the public domain are United States government works (technically the copyright is held collectively by the American public), and writings for which their copyright has expired. In the United States, anything published before 1923 no longer has copyright protection and is in the public domain.[1] Laws vary by country, but in most of the world, works whose authors died at least 50, 70, or 100 years ago are in the public domain.
