Legal Aspects Of Public Domain Material
Public domain material is content that’s no longer copyrighted. That means you are allowed to use the work for creating your own personal or commercial projects. The potential problem comes when finding out whether the document in question is actually copyright free. It’s not always clear, even on copyright search sites.
Numerous individuals and publishing companies have reprinted old works like the G. A. Henty books for young folks and Charlotte Mason’s educational books. Others take bits and pieces of art or photos and create totally new collections. Magazine covers become artwork, old ads hang in restaurants, vintage graphics are transformed into patterns for needlework. The sky’s the limit when it comes to repackaging public domain material!
So, as long as a book, article, movie, etc. is truly in the public domain, you can use all or part of it in your own products. You can even reprint the work and sell it as a tangible product. Always make absolutely certain, though, that any work you use is, indeed, copyright- free so you don’t get into legal issues.
Ignorance of the law can shut down your entire business! Take the few extra minutes to learn the ins and outs of making sure what you want to use is, indeed, copyright-free material. Don’t take someone else’s word that a piece of work is in the public domain either. Locate and keep a copy of proof if you’re going to use the work in your own product.
There’s a huge misunderstanding going around right now online that all you have to do to use vintage magazines is to do your own copyright search at copyright (.gov) or other research sites, and then if there’s no “RE” beside the magazines, they weren’t renewed, and you’re free to use them.
This is false information!
I spoke to three separate lawyers on the topic, as I had bought hundreds of magazines, and was prepared to use them. Some little voice inside told me to check for legal purposes, and I was shocked by what the lawyers told me.
Did you know that a work can be copyrighted and not registered? This issue poses a huge problem for those who have researched copyright (.gov) and then took content for their site just because the magazine didn’t appear to be registered.
If you are using any book or magazine content you haven’t had thoroughly searched (from all three databases at the Library of Congress), then you could actually be using content illegally.
Bottom line – stay legal, keep your profits. Always have a formal legal search of all databases to make sure you are not using copyrighted content.

On the Pampas by Henty, G. A. [Paperback] $25.29 G A Henty was a 19th century novelist, special correspondent and Imperialist. His bestknown works are historical adventures. While most of the 122 books he wrote were for children, he also wrote adult novels, nonfiction such as The March to Magdala (1868) and Those Other Animals (1891), short stories for the likes of The Boys Own Paper and edited the Union Jack, a weekly boys magazine. An excerpt from On the Pampas reads The boys were in the highest spirits at being at last really out upon the pampas, and as day fairly broke they had a hearty laugh at the appearance of their cavalcade. There was no road or track of any kind, and consequently, instead of following in a file, as they would have done in any other country, the party straggled along in a confused body. First came the animalsthe sheep, bullocks, and cows. Behind these rode Lopez, in, his gaucho dress, and a long whip in his hand, which he cracked from time to time, with a report like that of a pistolnot that there was any difficulty in driving the animals at a pace sufficient to keep well ahead of the bullock carts, for the sheep of the pampas are very much more active beasts than their English relations. This book is recommended for older children and adults. Author: Henty, G. A.

For Name and Fame by G. a. Henty, A. Henty [Paperback] $26.6 My poor pets a lady exclaimed, sorrowfully; it is too bad. They all knew me so well; and ran to meet me, when they saw me coming; and seemed really pleased to see me, even when I had no food to give them. Which was not often, my dear, Captain Riponher husbandsaid. However it is, as you say, too bad; and I will bring the fellow to justice, if I can. There are twelve prize fowlsworth a couple of guineas apiece, not to mention the fact of their being pets of yoursstolen, probably by tramps; who will eat them, and for whom the commonest barndoor chickens would have done as well. There are marks of blood in two or three places, so they have evidently been killed for food. The house was locked up last night, all right; for you see they got in by breaking in a panel of the door. Robson, run down to the village, at once, and tell the policeman to come up here; and ask if any gypsies, or tramps, have been seen in the neighborhood. The village lay at the gate of Captain Ripons park, and the gardener soon returned with the policeman. Author: G. a. Henty, A.

On being invalided honle he was appointed purveyor to the forces, and in 1869 he went to Italy to organize the hospitals of the Italian legion. After his return he held similar home appointmerits for a time, but he resigned his commission later and engaged in mining operations in Wales and Sardinia. In 1866 he began his career as war correspondent for the Standard newspaper, and in this capacity went through the Austro Italian, Abyssinian, FrancoGerman, Ashan, and Turco Servian campaigns.

At Agincourt by Henty, G. A. [Hardcover] $46.14 Perhaps it would be best, Master Guy. I fear not three men if they stand up face to face with me, but to be stabbed in the back is a thing that neither strength nor skill can save one from. But as I care not to be always going about in armour I will expend some of my crowns in buying a shirt of mail also. Tis better by far than armour, for a man coming up behind could stab one over the line of the backpiece or under the arm, while if you have mail under your coat they will strike at you fair between the shoulders, and it is only by striking high up on the neck that they have any chance with you. A good coat of mail is money well laid out, and will last a lifetime; and even if it cost me all the silversmiths crowns I will have a right good one. Author: Henty, G. A.
