Publieke domein: Verskil tussen weergawes

'''Publieke domein''' of '''openbare besit''' is 'n benaming vir [[sagteware]], [[teks]]te, [[beeld]]e en [[oudio]]werke wat geheel en al van [[outeursreg]]te vrygestel is. Enige persoon kan dus met 'n werk wat onder die publieke domein val, doen wat hy wil sonder enige grense. 'n Werk kan in die publieke domein kom wanneer die outeursreg verval het. 'n Werk val outomaties onder outeursreg, selfs al meld die outeur dit nie.<ref name="Boyle2008">{{cite book|last=Boyle|first=James|title=The Public Domain: Enclosing the Commons of the Mind|publisher=CSPD|year=2008|page=38|url=https://www.google.com/books?id=Fn1Pl9Gv_EMC&dq=public+domain&source=gbs_navlinks_s|isbn=978-0-300-13740-8|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150214065428/http://www.google.com/books?id=Fn1Pl9Gv_EMC&dq=public+domain&source=gbs_navlinks_s|archive-date=14 February 2015}}</ref><ref name="Graber 2008 173">{{cite book|url=https://www.google.com/books?id=gK6OI0hrANsC&dq=%22public+domain%22+intellectual+property&lr=&as_brr=3&source=gbs_navlinks_s|title=Intellectual Property and Traditional Cultural Expressions in a Digital Environment|last1=Graber|first1=Christoph B.|last2=Nenova|first2=Mira B.|publisher=Edward Elgar Publishing|year=2008|isbn=978-1-84720-921-4|page=173|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141220043810/http://www.google.com/books?id=gK6OI0hrANsC&dq=%22public+domain%22+intellectual+property&lr=&as_brr=3&source=gbs_navlinks_s|archive-date=20 December 2014|access-date=27 October 2016}}</ref><ref>[http://www.bitlaw.com/copyright/unprotected.html unprotected] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160302173206/http://www.bitlaw.com/copyright/unprotected.html|date=2 March 2016}} on bitlaw.com</ref>
