The term "public domain" is an often misunderstood and misused term. Generally it means that the material is not protected by copyright. There are three situations in which a work will be in the public domain: (i) a work for which copyright protection was never available; (ii) a work for which copyright protection was never properly secured, and (iii) a work for which copyright protection has expired or has otherwise been lost.
