Now when we say public domain we talked about those materials or works that is no longer encompasses the copyright term or more specifically those works that was never protected by the copyright law. We can say that in other terms, public domain refers to the works that no longer received legal protection that is within the border of intellectual property rights law and that incorporates all aspects of works that is not under the intellectual property doctrines that permits acts and exception to copyrights law. This term public domain can also be interchangeable with other undefined terminologies such as the “public sphere” or perhaps “commons” that includes concepts known as “common of the minds” and the intellectual commons” and the last one “information commons” used by some people in their discourse. For a general context, public domain refers to ideas, information and works that publicly available, meaning to say anyone who uses the World Wide Web can get an access to those works or creations by members of the general public without worrying about legal authorization. Now, when we talked about public domain and the parameters of the copyright law, it is unavoidable to discuss its value for the general public to have an idea about. Pamela Samuelson a (information about her), has analyzes the possible values that can give significance to the topic public domain, and here are the following: 1. This derivative works promotes education by means of spreading out the information, ideas and scientific principles available for the general public. 2.

This available works, ideas and information can be a good building block source of new knowledge that includes data, facts, theories and the like that can give big help for the greater number of people. 4. Follow ups on some innovation can also be updated through a continuous study that can be used for example in patenting and copyrights. Of course this can be made possible if there are available works that is used to be a reference point of study by a new study that a certain person wants to conduct. 5.
