Do you understand why there is such a thing as "public domain", and why eventually all works revert to being in the public domain?
It is estimated that currently, of all the books found in the world's libraries, only about 15% are in the public domain, even though only 10% of all books are still in print; the remaining 75% are
books which remain unavailable because they are still under copyright protection.
