Public Domain
Wizard
The work you wish to use may be in the public
domain, in which case you are free to use
it without permission. To determine whether a
work is or may be in the public domain in Canada,
enter the data as indicated below. You may omit
answers which are not applicable or about which
you are unsure. If you don't know the date of
an author's death, try the web link ahead of that
field.
EXAMPLE: if an author created a work in
January 1882, and died in July 1940, copyright
protection in that work would expire on December
31, 1990. If there are joint authors, the 50 year
period clock would begin at the end of the year
of death of the last surviving author.
IF THE WIZARD INDICATES THE WORK IS IN THE PUBLIC
DOMAIN, YOU MAY USE IT FREELY. GOOD LUCK!
IF THE WIZARD INDICATES THE WORK IS NOT IN THE PUBLIC
DOMAIN, YOU CAN DETERMINE IF YOUR USE QUALIFIES
