We frequently get questions from video creators about the rules for making use of other creators' work in their own projects. If a piece of art was created so long ago that its copyright has expired and it's since fallen into the public domain, you're free to make use of it any way that you want. (To learn more about using archival footage in your videos, check out our informative Archival Storytelling book) But if a piece of art is still under copyright, you'll want to make sure that you're in the clear. Most U.S.
