"Net als het internet nu, wordt straks de openbare ruimte volledig beheerst door commerciële belangen". Marleen Stikker in Rijnboutt magazine.
The term public domain has two senses of meaning. Anything published is out in the public domain in the sense that it is available to the public. Once published, news and information in books are in the public domain, although they may also be copyrighted. In the sense of intellectual property, works in the public domain are those whose exclusive intellectual property rights have expired, have been forfeited, have been expressly waived, or are inapplicable.
