When copyrights expire on books and music, the masterpieces become "public domain." That means you can get your hands on classic texts and sheet music for free -- and it's completely legal. For instance, at Gutenberg.org, you can download more than 25,000 e-books, including works by Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and James Joyce. And at mutopiaproject.org, musicians can print sheet music by more than 250 composers, including Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky and Joplin.
