Yes it is! That's part of the deal. Society helps the author by having laws that stop people publishing the work without permission for a limited time. But after that time is up, the works become available freely to everyone.
I have no argument with the principal of copyright (although I admit that some people do). I do think that the length of copyright is excessive.
