Actually Eminent Domain
Quote:

is an action of the state to seize a citizen's private property, expropriate property, or seize a citizen's rights in property with due monetary compensation, but without the owner's consent. The property is taken either for government use or by delegation to third parties who will devote it to public or civic use or, in some cases, economic development.

according to Wikipedia and has nothing to do with intellectual property of any kind so far as I can see. Basically what it means (as an example) is that if you have land and a new road needs to be built say and it would go through your land then the government could seize it for the good of the people and give you compensation in the form of money for it. You don't even get a say in whether you want to sell or not in such a case. So Eminent Domain has nothing to do with such material as an ebook. An ebook becomes Public Domain (free to all) when the copyright is expired and can't be renewed. So a book like Dracula by Bram Stoker is Public Domain while a book like Salem's lot by Stephen King isn't.
