4. Copyrights

Most of the files at this site are in the public domain in the United States. This is because they were originally printed in the US and:

• Their copyright has expired normally (they were published in or prior to 1922), or
• They were published between 1923 and 1964 (inclusive) and the copyright was not renewed, or
• They were published by the US Government.
• In addition, books printed outside the US in or before 1922 are in the public domain in the US.

Books and other content become public domain in different ways in different countries. So if you reside outside the US, you will have to use different criteria to determine if a text is in the public domain. In some countries, this is determined by the date of death of the author. For instance, in the United Kindom or European Union books become public domain 70 years after the death of the author. This means that some books are in the public domain in the US but not the UK. For instance, the book ‘The Tarot Unveiled’ was published in 1910 in England. This means that it is in the public domain in the US (it was published prior to 1922). However, the author, A.E. Waite, died in 1942. For this reason this book will not enter the public domain in the UK or the EU until 2012. Public domain files from this site can be used for any purposes.

Most other public domain files at this site can be used in commercial projects without any payment.

Note that this doesn’t restrict you from using these books for commercial use if you are willing to make your own transcription of them. We have no objection to this as we do not claim to own these works.

Contact us if you have any questions.
