Abstract
We show that all the possible pairs of integers occur as exponents for free or nearly free irreducible plane curves and line arrangements, by producing only two types of simple families of examples. The topology of the complements of these curves and line arrangements is also discussed, and many of them are shown not to be \(K(\pi ,1)\) spaces.
