Top Mistake People Make in Using Public Domain Works in E-Books


Whenever you want to use a piece of material that you think is in the public domain works, be careful! Pay attention to the country that the copyright originated from.

People often get the definition and perception of international laws wrong. In the laws regarding copyright, for materials copyrighted say in Korea, the laws of copyright in Korea applies to the material's usage in all other countries in the world. If it is not public domain in Korea, it is not public domain anywhere else.

Do not just check for the copyright validity in your own country, be it the United States or Japan. Always check out the material's country of origin, and its copyright laws there.

Following on from this mistake, a follow up mistake is that people often assume that most copyright laws are similar to the country they reside in. Not true! They can be very different! Assumptions often make fools out of us, so do be careful about this point. Yes, it is tedious, but necessary to keep you on the safe side of the law.

Let us examine what will happen if you infringe on copyright laws. Countries differ in their punishment meted out, but here is something to keep you on your toes. Some countries practice imprisonment for copyright law breakers. I am sure you don't want that!

Also, don't think that just because you stay far away from the country of origin, you can escape from being sued.

Nowadays, with globalization, people from far away countries can sue you easily!

The whole internet marketing game takes time to master, so learn from those who have been there to shorten your learning time, and avoid painful mistakes.
