The copyright law of the United States grants monopoly protection for "original works of authorship".

In the past, a work would enter the public domain in the United States if it was released without a copyright notice. This was true prior to March 1, 1989, but is no longer the case. Any work (of certain, enumerated types) now receives copyright as soon as it is fixed in a tangible medium.

A public-domain book is a book with no copyright, a book that was created without a license, or a book where its copyrights expired [17] or have been forfeited.

In the United States, the term for most existing works is a fixed number of years after the date of creation or publication. In most countries (for example, the United States [1] and the United Kingdom [2]) copyright expires at the end of the calendar year in question.
The main academic full-text databases are open archives or link-resolution services, although others operate under different models such as mirroring or hybrid publishers. Such services typically provide access to full text and full-text search, but also metadata about items for which no full text is available.
