What is Public Domain?
Public domain is not about the world wide web domain names. The meaning derive from the Law of Intellectual properties. Works can be called as public domain if they are not covered with intellectual property claims and rights, this means that the property has no owner. This can be possible due to expiration, forfeited or unclaimed.
This also refer to ideas and works which is publicly available. The best example of a public domain is the English Language, where it is available to all, and nobody owns the language. When a copyright, patents and trademarks are registered, they are not under the public domain, they are private property where these properties are covered by moral laws. Example in music, an artist recorded a song, that song is a property of the artist and not other people, unless the artist failed to claim or voluntary give the rights of the song to the public. In the same case, revival of a private property song needs courtesy, but public domain songs can be revive by anybody.

I think you should always check your grammar, articles shouldn’t only be interesting but also be written in the correct form of grammar. I saw again (simple) mistakes like “This also refer to ideas and works which is publicly available”, because the word “This” is singular the verb “refer” should also be in singular form “refers”. The correct sentence should be “This also refers to ideas and works which is publicly available”. Again, remember the rule that the verb always agrees with it’s subject in person and in number.
