   5 <p>The recent announcement of from the New York Public Library on its
   6 results in
   7 <a href="https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/kz4e3e/millions-of-books-are-secretly-in-the-public-domain-you-can-download-them-free">identifying
   8 books published in the USA that are now in the public domain</a>,
   9 inspired me to update the scripts I use to track down movies that are
  10 in the public domain.  This involved updating the script used to
  11 extract lists of movies believed to be in the public domain, to work
  12 with the latest version of the source web sites.  In particular the
  13 new edition of the <a href="https://retrofilmvault.com/">Retro Film
  14 Vault</a> web site now seem to list all the films available from that
  15 distributor, bringing the films identified there to more than 12.000
  16 movies, and I was able to connect 46% of these to IMDB titles.</p>
  17
  18 <p>The new total is 16307 IMDB IDs (aka films) in the public domain or
  19 creative commons licensed, and unknown status for 31460 movies
  20 (possibly duplicates of the 16307).</p>
  21
  22 <p>The complete data set is available from
  23 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/public-domain-free-imdb">a
  24 public git repository</a>, including the scripts used to create it.</p>
  25
  26 <p>Anyway, this is the summary of the 28 collected data sources so
  27 far:</p>
