I love public domain and love to share sources for public domain material. I think I would think twice about sharing these resources but I know that only 2% to 7% of those reading this will actually take any type of action.

Check out Public Doman Advantage for more detailed information about Public Domain

I’m sure you know Walt Disney started his empire with public domain material…..his cartoons all came from public domain sources. I know of one guy who used public domain material, burned them on a CD took it to their local Walmart and ended up going country wide with the CD…..needless to say with a little effort public domain materials made him a small forutune and changed his lifestyle overnight.
