It would be difficult, if not impossible, to apply this procedure to a public domain book or painting.

The copyright owner of the sound track can now prevent anyone from copying the music, thereby effectively stopping anyone from copying the film (unless the sound track is removed).

That sound track is not in the public domain. However, a production company recently acquired rights to the musical sound track that is used in the movie. For years, anyone was free to copy and sell the movie on videotape. For example, the film It’s a Wonderful Life fell into the public domain because of a failure to renew copyright.

There has been a disturbing trend by some copyright owners to assert protection in an element of a public domain work. Works such as movies or sound recordings may contain many underlying works, such as musical sound tracks, painted illustrations, or other works.
