Since Public Domain works don't have the protection of UsefulNotes/{{copyright}} or other IP rights, anyone can use them as the basis for new creative works without fear of running into lawsuits or other legal issues. In essence, someone is free to use, adapt, change, or implement entire sections of the work as they so choose (including the entirety of the work), even for profit, all without asking permission or paying royalties. Shakespeare's works, for example, have received numerous film adaptations with their own unique spin on The Bard's tales. People can also use those works, in part or in whole, within a new creative work (someone can quote as much Shakespeare as they want within a film).
