I thought we were talking about Elvis Presley works, which were not in the PD, and by extension other copyrighted works not in the PD, and therefore did not think it necessary to stipulate that this was what I was referring to.
Yes, items out of copyright that fall under PD could be considered "ours". If that is what the author was referring to then my bad for completely missing the point of the article. I'm not sure why he would be using Elvis Presley copyrighted works as an example if that were the case though.
