    In order for a book to go online, either the copyright holder (usually the author) has to give permission, or the book needs to be in the public domain (i.e. Copyright on the material has expired) or there must be a special legal exemption allowing whoever puts the book online to do so without permission. Most free online books are from public-domain texts, but there are also many books online with the permission of the author.

    How Can I Tell Whether a Book Can Go Online?

    In order for a book to go online, either


    the copyright holder (usually the author) has to give permission, or the book needs to be in the public domain (i.e. copyright on the material has expired), or there must be a special legal exemption allowing whoever puts the book online to do so without permission of the copyright holder. (This last case is quite rare; in the US, it may apply to libraries and archives with respect to some out-of-print copyrighted books published between 1923 and 1936. In some other countries, it might apply to books known as "orphan works".)

    Most free online books are from public-domain texts, but there are also many books online with the permission of the copyright holder.
