Copyright:
A form of protection provided by the laws of the United States for "original works of authorship", including literary, dramatic, musical, architectural, cartographic, choreographic, pantomimic, pictorial, graphic, sculptural, and audiovisual creations. "Copyright" literally means the right to copy but has come to mean that body of exclusive rights granted by law to copyright owners for protection of their work. Copyright protection does not extend to any idea, procedure, process, system, title, principle, or discovery. Similarly, names, titles, short phrases, slogans, familiar symbols, mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering, coloring, and listings of contents or ingredients are not subject to copyright.
Copyright notice:
The copyright notice consists of three elements. They are the "c" in a circle (©), the year of first publication, and the name of the owner of copyright. A copyright notice is no longer legally required to secure copyright on works first published on or after March 1, 1989, but it does provide legal benefits.
What does fair use mean?
Most countries allow limited copying, without permission, of protected work for private study, research, criticism, and news reporting. The copying needs to be fair in the sense that it should not deprive you of your rights or your ability to make money from your designs.
Public domain:
This is a designation for content that is not protected by any copyright law or other restriction and may be freely copied, shared, altered and republished by anyone. The designation means, essentially, that the content belongs to the community at large. Copyright restrictions vary among types of content and different countries.
Content in the public domain is usually there because either the copyright or restriction has expired or because it was never protected, often because the content owner has purposely placed it in the public domain. Early silent films, for example, are usually in the public domain because their copyrights have expired. Musicians sometimes release works directly into the public domain so that it may be freely accessed.
Music, films, literature, images, software, patents and mathematical formulas are among the wide variety of intellectual property that may be in the public domain.
You can find copyright free images by searching them on line. The link to images in such a search is not always be copyright free however.
Creative Commons Licenses
Creative Commons is a form of copyright where content creators who want to share their work may do so. However, it is usually on the condition that their work be properly attributed. There are six different types of licenses you can obtain when sharing your work in creative commons. Some allow you to distribute and modify for commercial and non-commercial purposes, some only allow you to use them for non-commercial purposes, and some require you to subject your new work to the same license as the shared content. Any violation of these laws is stealing.
For example, if a person has a photo protected by the Attribution ShareAlike license and you credit them for that photo in your work but you don’t license your derived work under the same terms as they did their photo, you are violating the terms of the license.
Creative commons is a way for artists to share their work with anyone online but once their work is up and licensed, they are only allowed to guard that work within the boundaries of the license. Once you give that consent anyone can use your work for any purpose you deemed fit with your license regardless if it’s inferior work or not consistent with your beliefs.
Duration of Copyright Protection
While copyright laws do vary from country to country, in most cases it lasts until 50 years after the person’s death. In the United States, copyright protection lasts for 70 years after death.
