Works by William Butler Yeats and books like The Worst Journey In The World by Apsley Cherry-Garrard has now entered into the public domain and outside of the “protection”/”prison” of copyright. See a list of authors and books that come into public domain in this entry by Wallace McLean. Quoting Wallace,
The public domain is the cultural property and intellectual heritage of an entire people and the entire world in which a given work is now unencumbered by copyright. It’s your public domain to use, adapt, preserve, promote, and enjoy.
Short live copyright! And long live the public domain!
