Paying public domain (French: Domaine public payant, Spanish: dominio público pagante) is a copyright regime where copies, presentations or performances of a work that has entered the public domain are still subject to royalties, which are payable to the state or to an authors' association. The principle is that revenue from the work of long-dead artists should be used to support creativity of living artists.
It may apply only to certain types of work, such as folklore or traditional cultural expressions, and typically is restricted to commercial use. Paying public domain regimes have been introduced and withdrawn in several countries. They are still in place in several countries in South America and Africa.
When a work is in the public domain, the existence of a paying public domain regime may be seen as a "non-copyright restriction" which does not prevent the work from being uploaded to Commons, but should be respected by users of the work.
