What is the Public Domain?
Creative works that are not protected by copyright are said to be in the “public domain”, a vast commons of material that everyone is free to enjoy, share, and build upon without restriction. While works can be dedicated to the public domain (by the creator forgoing their copyright), most are in the public domain because they are old enough for their copyrights to have expired. However, different countries and jurisdictions have varying laws about how and when copyright expires, meaning there exist, in effect, many public domains, despite the tendency to talk of “the public domain” as a singular entity.

Why you should use it over AI
There is so much art in the public art at our finger tips right here on the world wide web! There is every thing from paintings to videos and music just waiting to be used again and have a new life! All of the art on my blog can be found in the public domain except my avatar pictures. Get out there and get hunting theres so much to find!
