Works Created Before 1978

"Works Created Before 1978" refers to creative works—such as books, music, artwork, or films—that were made before 1978. These works are often protected by copyright laws, which grant the creator or their estate exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the work. However, copyright laws can vary by country and subject matter, and many of these works may have entered the public domain over time, meaning they are no longer under copyright protection and can be freely used. When dealing with such works, it's important to verify their current copyright status to avoid legal complications.
