No. Or, rather, it can be, but it doesn't have to be. "Public domain" means you're allowed to give it away if you want, or sell it if you can find someone willing to pay for it.

Can you get in trouble from public domain?

Yes, in theory, public domain means there is no copyright. However, there have been cases in which works that were clearly in the public domain have been given "restored" or "retro-active" copyright, making it potentially troublesome. Also, there are other non-copyright issues in some works, including the possibility of personal rights for an image of an individual, including the right of privacy, the right of publicity and commercial use of the image (e.g., to suggest sponsorship). You should also consider the fact that "public domain" in one country does not necessarily imply public domain in all other countries. A work could be copyrighted in one country and not copyrighted in another.


How much music can you legally add to a project?

The limit doesn't have to do with the amount of music added to a given project. It has to do with the rights to use any given piece of music. Music that is in the public domain can be used freely, without restriction. However, you must check to see that the recorded performance of the music is also in the public domain; it may not be. The song Morning Has Broken is from the old Shaker Hymnal and is in the public domain. The once very popular Cat Stevens recording of it is not. He doesn't own the music itself, but he does own his performance of it (or has assigned those rights to some other entity).Of course, you can make your own recording of music in the public domain without any problem at all. If your project is video, then you have to make sure that you purchase 'mechanical rights' in order to include the music in your video, if the music or the recorded performance of it are not yet in the public domain.
