To Strike While the Public Domain Iron is Hot, You Must First Find the Iron!
by: Charles H. Smith
Surely you have heard of Ted Turner and Walt Disney, but do you know what they have in common? Both of these men started companies based public domain materials. Walt Disney updated or modernized characters from Grimm's Fairy Tales, and Ted Turner founded Turner Classic Movies using many public domain movies.
With public domain materials rapidly becoming a very hot commodity these days, your competition for these materials gets more demanding daily. If you go to Google.com and search for Public Domain, there are over 40 million sites resulting from this search. So, how do you weed through these millions and millions of sites to find actual materials in the public domain?
Your search for these materials has just been simplified. We have compiled a toolbar containing almost 200 direct links to public domain materials and 7 public domain search engines into a free public domain toolbar. Imagine; if you will, searching the Library of Congress, eServer or Project Gutenberg; among others, directly from your toolbar. Simply for your convince, we have included a few links to old book resellers to the search bar. With your keywords in hand, this feature has proven extremely valuable in locating original public domain manuscripts or books for scanning and editing. Although, some of the public domain materials are donated and have special terms and conditions for using the material in commercial websites, your due diligence and discovery of the special cases is warranted and advised.
Because this Internet Explorer toolbar receives automatically updates from PublicDomainForum.com every time you launch it, available to you are the freshest public domain links available. As links die, they are removed. As new links are found, your toolbar is updated.
How do you get this great tool? This free toolbar is only available to registered forum members of Public Domain Forum. Visit us online and register for our free Public Domain forum. After you login to the forum, you may download this terrific tool.
