Has over 60,000 public domain ebooks / magazines. All proof read by humans unlike the wayback machine / Archive org / New Library of Alexandria which only has OCRs of scans and often material that's actually copyright.
Also the library here is good.
fadedpage in Canada is good if you live anywhere with life + 50 copyright restrictions.
Creative Commons Zero is just a recent modern attempt to rebrand "Public Domain". Public Domain is legal concept of Intellectual Property since Copyright existed. It means the creator or publisher has ZERO rights. You can copy, edit, upload give it free or charge or do what you like. It's regarded as immoral, but not illegal to pass off Public Domain (CC0) as your own work. |
Thanks for the info! Sounds like it made sense I had no luck if it is just a rebrand, lol
