While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
  • A copyright prevents a book’s contents from being reproduced (published) without permission from the copyright holder.
  • When a book’s copyright expires, the book enters the public domain and can be legally reproduced by anyone.
  • The Prophet is a collection of prose poems by Kahlil Gibran.
  • It entered the public domain in 2019.
  • The Professor’s House is a novel by Willa Cather.
  • It entered the public domain in 2021.
