Very Confused

[hughfr]

Talk about information overload, I have tried to read the information on copyrighted works based on books. Can you tell me if I have this right: anything before 70 IS protected by copyright, anything after IS NOT protected?

I plan to use work from gutenberg if I can and built a website around a book, then use info I find on wikipedia for the 'copy' on the sales page?

Is this possible to do?

Thanks for any help in advance it is very much appreciated!

Do I understand this correctly - all you are doing is copying other peoples work and hoping to make money from it?

I must be missing the point?? - What are you actually selling on your 'sales page'?

For example I could use The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain. I could then use the information from wikipedia for example biography, put pictures etc, put information about The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, on my sales page.

A lot of do not know The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, is in the public domain

Thanks

Sorry, still confused - you keep talking about a 'sales page' - but what are you actually selling ?

Hi Sherif,
In this instance it would be The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn which is in the public domain.

I am sorry i didn't make this clear.

Oh I see - so you are basically selling copies of public domain work. Well there are certainly enough publishers doing that, so I can't image you would run into many problems, though I can't imagine you could make much money at it either.

Hi Sherif,

Thanks
