Sometimes it confuses some of the people what actually "Public Domain License" is ? Well, a quck answer to this is that "Free to use in any way, personal or commercial". Well, I have been looking for a couple of articles and at the end I found that everybody has posted those articles, so its useless to post the outdated articles and news, for example I created a category for public domain articles and after a few minutes I realised that the articles I found useful were posted over a thousand of websites, so its pretty useless to repost that material.

 

But, yes its useful for the people who organise those articles and confirm that those are public domain articles, then arrange an ebook or some sort of online course or anything and sell it, I guess the people dont have time to search and read, so they just use their credit card and buy those e-books.

 

For examples, here is the list of coupld of articles you can republish on your website without any restriction

 

here is some useful information I found at  http://www.ezau.com

Project Gutenberg - Project Gutenburg claims to be the Internet's oldest producer or ebooks or electronic texts. You can search their database by title, author or subject. The subject field comes in handy if you are looking to create products for a target market. The site has full instructions on how to define your search and files can be viewed in text format online or you can download zipped texts to your hard drive.

Internet Public Library - has over 20, 000 titles you can browse. Search by author or title. The books can be viewed online in txt or html and zip versions of each format can be downloaded. The download links do not open in a new window so you might like to right mouse click on the download links and select the "save as" option to download.

Search eBooks - seems to have thousands of texts available to read online. You have one search field. Results shown provide two links for each result. One to read the text and the other is the home page of the provider. If you have difficulty finding what you want while searching more than one word, try closing the search string with "inverted commas" as this will produce a different result.

It's more difficult to find help, terms of use and specific copywrite information at this site. Still a handy resource because search results load quickly. To find more copywrite info about titles at Search eBooks, it might be a good idea to re-search the titles at Internet Public Library or Project Glutenberg.

Public Domain Riches - is a special course which covers how to get into the business of marketing public domain books. It teaches exactly how to research and profit from public domain material.

Check Copyright Before Publishing

It is suggested that you check the specific copyright information for each title if you intend to republish with your own brand. Some of the titles copyright information are straight forward but others are difficult to even find. Public Domain Riches has more info about this.

Either way, you can still read thousands of titles completely Free.
