Public Domain & Copyright Free

Caveat: just because a site claims that its (or some other site’s) content is in the public domain does not necessarily mean that it is.  In addition, some parts of the content may be in the public domain, and others not (thus the text of a movie may be in the public domain, but the songs in the movie may still be subject to copyright).

Caution is advised.
