The public domain is a term used for creative works that aren't protected by laws about intellectual property. This means anyone can freely use, change, copy, or share them, whether it's for business or non-business reasons. Some examples of public domain works are creations by William Shakespeare, Ludwig van Beethoven, L. Frank Baum, Leonardo da Vinci, and the latest being the original Mickey Mouse from 1928.
You don't need permission to use public domain works because no one has exclusive rights to them. A work can end up in the public domain either because its copyright or restrictions have expired, usually 70 years after the death of the copyright owner, or the owner has purposely made it public.
It's essential to know that copyright rules can be different for various types of content and in different countries. So, it's a good idea to check the copyright status of a work before using it.
