  13                 <pubDate>Mon, 2 Mar 2020 19:00:00 +0100</pubDate>
  14                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Today, after many months of development, a new release of
  15 &lt;ahref=&quot;https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core/&quot;&gt;Nikita
  16 Noark 5 core project&lt;/a&gt; was finally
  17 &lt;ahref=&quot;https://lists.nuug.no/pipermail/nikita-noark/2020-March/000519.html&quot;&gt;announced
  18 on the project mailing list&lt;/a&gt;.  The Nikita free software solution is
  19 an implementation of the Norwegian archive standard Noark 5 used by
  20 government offices in Norway.  These were the changes in version 0.5
  21 since version 0.4, see the email link above for links to a demo
  22 site:&lt;/p&gt;
  23
  24 &lt;ul&gt;
  25
  26   &lt;li&gt;Updated to Noark 5 versjon 5.0 API specification.
  27     &lt;ul&gt;
  28       &lt;li&gt;Changed formatting of _links from [] to {} to match IETF draft
  29       on JSON HAL.&lt;/li&gt;
  30       &lt;li&gt;Merged Registrering og Basisregistrering in version 4 to
  31       combined Registrering.&lt;/li&gt;
  32       &lt;li&gt;DokumentObjekt is now subtype of ArkivEnhet.&lt;/li&gt;
  33       &lt;li&gt;Introducing new entity Arkivnotat.&lt;/li&gt;
  34       &lt;li&gt;Changed all relation keys to use /v5/ instead of /v4/.&lt;/li&gt;
  35       &lt;li&gt;Corrected to use new official relation keys when possible.&lt;/li&gt;
  36       &lt;li&gt;Renamed Sakspart to Part and connect it to Mappe, Registrering
  37       and Dokumentbeskrivelse instead of only Saksmappe.&lt;/li&gt;
  38       &lt;li&gt;Moved Korrespondansepart connection from Journalpost to
  39       Registrering.&lt;/li&gt;
  40       &lt;li&gt;Moved Part and Korrespondansepart from package sakarkiv to
  41       arkivstruktur.&lt;/li&gt;
  42       &lt;li&gt;Renamed presedensstatus to presedensStatus.&lt;/li&gt;
  43       &lt;li&gt;Use new JSON content-type &quot;application/vnd.noark5+json&quot;.&lt;/li&gt;
  44       &lt;li&gt;Updated prepopulated format list to use PRONOM codes.&lt;/li&gt;
  45       &lt;li&gt;Implemented endpoint for system information.&lt;/li&gt;
  46       &lt;li&gt;Implemented national identifiers for both file and record.&lt;/li&gt;
  47       &lt;li&gt;Implemented comments.&lt;/li&gt;
  48       &lt;li&gt;implemented sign off.&lt;/li&gt;
  49       &lt;li&gt;implemented conversion.&lt;/li&gt;
  50     &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  51   &lt;li&gt;Improved/implemented OData search and paging support for more entities.&lt;/li&gt;
  52   &lt;li&gt;No longer exposes attribute Dokumentobjekt.referanseDokumentfil,
  53    one should use the relation in _links instead.&lt;/li&gt;
  54   &lt;li&gt;Corrected relation keys under
  55    https://rel.arkivverket.no/noark5/v5/api/administrasjon/, replacing
  56    &#39;administrasjon&#39; with &#39;admin&#39;.&lt;/li&gt;
  57   &lt;li&gt;Fixed several security and stability issues discovered by Coverity.&lt;/li&gt;
  58   &lt;li&gt;Corrected handling ETag errors, now return code 409.&lt;/li&gt;
  59   &lt;li&gt;Improved handling of Kryssreferanse.&lt;/li&gt;
  60   &lt;li&gt;Changed internal database model to use UUID/SystemID as primary keys
  61    in tables.&lt;/li&gt;
  62   &lt;li&gt;Changed internal database table names to use package prefix.&lt;/li&gt;
  63   &lt;li&gt;Changed time zone handling for date and datetime attributes, to be
  64    more according to the new definition in the API specification.&lt;/li&gt;
  65   &lt;li&gt;Change revoke-token to only drop token on POST requests, not GET.&lt;/li&gt;
  66   &lt;li&gt;Updated to newer Spring version.&lt;/li&gt;
  67   &lt;li&gt;Changed primary key and URL component for metadata code lists to
  68    use the &#39;kode&#39; value instead of a SystemID.&lt;/li&gt;
  69   &lt;li&gt;Corrected implementation of Part and Sakspart.&lt;/li&gt;
  70   &lt;li&gt;Changed instance lists with subtypes (like .../registrering/ and
  71    .../mappe/) to include the attributes and _links entries for the
  72    subtype in the supertype lists.&lt;/li&gt;
  73   &lt;li&gt;Adjusted _links relations to make it possible to figure out the
  74    entity of an instance using the self-&gt;href-&gt;relation key lookup
  75    method.&lt;/li&gt;
  76   &lt;li&gt;Fixed several end points to make sure GET, PUT, POST and DELETE
  77    match each other.&lt;/li&gt;
  78   &lt;li&gt;Updated DELETE endpoints to work with UUID based entity
  79    identifiers.&lt;/li&gt;
  80   &lt;li&gt;Restructured code to use more common URL related constants in entry
  81    point values and replace @RequestMapping with method specific
  82    annotations.&lt;/li&gt;
  83   &lt;li&gt;Added first unit test code.&lt;/li&gt;
  84   &lt;li&gt;Updated web GUI to work with the updated API.&lt;/li&gt;
  85   &lt;li&gt;Changed integer fields, enforce them as numeric.&lt;/li&gt;
  86   &lt;li&gt;Rewrote and simplify metadata handling to use common service and
  87    controller code instead of duplicating for each type.&lt;/li&gt;
  88   &lt;li&gt;Implemented the remaining metadata types.&lt;/li&gt;
  89   &lt;li&gt;Changed Country list source from Wikipedia to Debian iso-codes and
  90    updated the list of Countries.&lt;/li&gt;
  91   &lt;li&gt;Many many corrections and improvements.&lt;/li&gt;
  92
  93 &lt;/ul&gt;

 113                 <description>&lt;p&gt;On Tuesday, two scietific articles we have been working on for a
 114 while, was finally accepted for publication into
 115 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.emerald.com/insight/publication/issn/0956-5698&quot;&gt;Records
 116 Management Journal&lt;/a&gt;.  Still waiting for the assigned DOI urls to
 117 start working, but you can have a look at the LaTeX originals here.&lt;/p&gt;
 118
 119 &lt;p&gt;The first article is
 120 &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2020-02-25-rmj-iot-record-keeping.pdf&quot;&gt;A
 121 record-keeping approach to managing IoT-data for government
 122 agencies&lt;/a&gt;&quot; (&lt;a href=&quot;https://doi.org/10.1108/RMJ-09-2019-0056&quot;&gt;DOI
 123 10.1108/RMJ-09-2019-0056&lt;/a&gt;) by Thomas Sødring, Petter Reinholdtsen
 124 and David Massey, and sketches some approaches for storing measurement
 125 data (aka Internet of Things sensor data) in a archive, thus providing
 126 a well defined mechanism for screening and deletion of the information &lt;/p&gt;
 127
 128 &lt;p&gt;The second article is
 129 &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2020-02-25-rmj-block-chain-record-keeping.pdf&quot;&gt;Publishing
 130 and using record-keeping structural information in a blockchain&lt;/a&gt;&quot;
 131 (&lt;a href=&quot;https://doi.org/10.1108/RMJ-09-2019-0050&quot;&gt;DOI
 132 10.1108/RMJ-09-2019-0050&lt;a/&gt;) by Thomas Sødring, Petter Reinholdtsen
 133 and Svein Ølnes, where we describe a way for third parties to validate
 134 authenticity and thus improve trust in the records kept in a
 135 archive.&lt;/p&gt;

 147                 <pubDate>Wed, 5 Feb 2020 14:45:00 +0100</pubDate>
 148                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Arbeidet med å lage et godt, fritt og åpent standardisert maskinelt
 149 grensesnitt for arkivering, med tilhørende fri
 150 programvareimplementasjon fortsetter.  Jeg snakker om
 151 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/arkivverket/noark5-tjenestegrensesnitt-standard&quot;&gt;Noark
 152 5 Tjenestegrensesnitt&lt;/a&gt; og
 153 &lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core/&quot;&gt;Nikita&lt;/a&gt;.
 154 Siste nytt etter
 155 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20200127-noark-seminar/&quot;&gt;seminaret
 156 for noen dager siden&lt;/a&gt;, er vi i Nikita-prosjektet har fått beskjed
 157 fra Arkivverket at det blir satt ned en redaksjon for å videreutvikle
 158 spesifikasjonen.  Redaksjonen består av Mona Danielsen og Anne Sofie
 159 Knutsen ved arkivverket, Thomas Sødring ved OsloMet, og meg selv fra
 160 NUUG.  De to sistenevnte tar seg av de åpenbare forbedringene, mens
 161 hele redaksjonen diskuterer tvilstilfeller.  Jeg håper dette vil bidra
 162 til at vi lykkes i å gjøre denne protokollspesifikasjonen så entydig
 163 og klar at den vil bidra til et velfungerende marked for
 164 arkivsystemer, og sikre at programmer som trenger å snakke med
 165 arkivsystemet kan snakke med enhver implementasjon av
 166 API-spesifikasjonen.  Nikita er den første implementasjonen, men det
 167 bør blir flere.&lt;/p&gt;
 168
 169 &lt;p&gt;Det gjenstår riktig nok endel før vi er i mål, selv om svært mye
 170 allerede er på plass.  Med innspill og forslag til forbedringer fra
 171 alle som vil ha et leverandøruavhengig og fullstendig
 172 datamaskinlesbart grensesnitt til arkivet, så tror jeg vi vil
 173 lykkes.&lt;/p&gt;
 174
 175 &lt;p&gt;Som vanlig, hvis du bruker Bitcoin og ønsker å vise din støtte til
 176 det jeg driver med, setter jeg pris på om du sender Bitcoin-donasjoner
 177 til min adresse
 178 &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&quot;&gt;15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.

 187                 <pubDate>Thu, 26 Dec 2019 08:00:00 +0100</pubDate>
 188                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Like før julaften ble en artikkel jeg har skrevet om vedlikehold av
 189 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/arkivverket/noark5-tjenestegrensesnitt-standard&quot;&gt;Noark
 190 5 Tjenestegrensesnitt&lt;/a&gt; og Nikita publisert i &lt;a
 191 href=&quot;https://www.arkivrad.no/arkivrad&quot;&gt;tidsskriftet Arkivråd&lt;/a&gt;.
 192 Det er basert på
 193 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/_pen_og_gjennomsiktig_vedlikehold_av_spesifikasjonen_for_Noark_5_Tjenestegrensesnitt.html&quot;&gt;min bloggpost
 194 om samme tema&lt;/a&gt; som ble publisert 2019-03-11.  Jeg oppdaget nettopp
 195 at nettsiden til tidsskriftet Arkivråd er oppdatert med siste utgave,
 196 og artikkelen dermed er tilgjengelig for alle. Du finner den i
 197 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.arkivrad.no/sites/arkivrad/files/arkivrad_03_2019_nett.pdf&quot;&gt;PDF-en
 198 til nummer 2019/3 på side 30-33&lt;/a&gt;.  Jeg håper leserne av
 199 tidsskriftet får lyst til å sjekke ut tjenestegrensesnittet og at
 200 artikkelen vil gjøre det enklere for flere å bidra til en enda bedre,
 201 klarere og mer entydig API-spesifikasjon.  Det kan gjøre at
 202 &lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core/&quot;&gt;arkivsystemet
 203 Nikita&lt;/a&gt; kan bli enda bedre når spesifikasjonen forbedres.&lt;/p&gt;

 218                 <description>&lt;p&gt;En historie som har betydd endel for meg, og som jeg av og til
 219 tenker på når hverdagen tynger, ble så vidt jeg har klart å finne ut,
 220 skrevet av &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loren_Eiseley&quot;&gt;Loren
 221 Eiseley&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star_Thrower&quot;&gt;i
 222 flere ulike varianter&lt;/a&gt;.  På norsk tror jeg den går under navnet
 223 «Gutten og sjøstjernen», og jeg fant en oversettelse av en utgave av den
 224 hos
 225 &lt;a href=&quot;https://no.quora.com/Hva-er-din-favoritthistorie&quot;&gt;Quora&lt;/a&gt;.
 226 Fant også &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qClChUdlfI&quot;&gt;en
 227 filmatisering&lt;/a&gt;, men den versjonen jeg liker best fant jeg
 228 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/56782.Loren_Eiseley&quot;&gt;hos
 229 Goodreads&lt;/a&gt;.  Jeg oversatte den utgaven til norsk i går, og har lyst
 230 til å dele den med deg:
 231
 232 &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mens jeg tok en pause fra skrivingen og vandret på en
 233 øde strand ved daggry, så jeg en gutt i det fjerne bøye seg ned og
 234 kaste noe mens han vandret mot meg over den endeløse stranden.  Da han
 235 kom nærmere, kunne jeg se at han kastet sjøstjerner, som var etterlatt
 236 i sanden av tidevannet, tilbake i havet. Da han var nær nok spurte jeg
 237 ham hvorfor han jobbet så hardt på denne merkelige oppgaven. Han sa at
 238 solen snart ville stå opp og tørke sjøstjernene slik at de ville
 239 dø.&lt;/p&gt;
 240
 241 &lt;p&gt;Jeg sa til ham at dette var helt meningsløst.  Det var kilometer på
 242 kilometer med strand, og det lå sjøstjerner hele veien.  En person
 243 alene kunne ikke gjøre noen forskjell.  Han smilte da han plukket opp
 244 neste sjøstjerne. Mens han kastet den så langt ut i havet som han
 245 klarte sa han, «for denne gjør det en forskjell».  Jeg droppet
 246 skrivingen og tilbrakte resten av morgenen med å kaste
 247 sjøstjerner.&lt;/p&gt;
 248
 249 &lt;p&gt;- Loren Eiseley&lt;/p&gt;
 250 &lt;/blockquote&gt;
 251
 252 &lt;p&gt;Kanskje noe du også kan ha glede av å tenke på når ting virker
 253 håpløst?&lt;/p&gt;
 254
 255 &lt;p&gt;Teksten er gjengitt og oversatt basert på utgaven på Good Read,
 256 uten tillatelse fra noen andre enn meg selv.  Jeg håper på tilgivelse,
 257 hvis det er et problem for noen, da det er gjort i beste mening.  Hvis
 258 eventuell rettighetshaver tar kontakt vil jeg fjerne teksten og i
 259 stedet legge ut henvendelsen der teksten kreves fjernet.&lt;/p&gt;

 274                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg hadde i dag gleden av å oppdage at en artikkel om
 275 &lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core/&quot;&gt;arkivsystemet

 296                 <description>&lt;p&gt;When asked to accept terms of use and privacy policies that state
 297 it will to remove rights I otherwise had or accept unreasonable terms
 298 undermining my privacy, I choose away the service.  I simply do not
 299 have the conscience to accept terms I have no indention of upholding.
 300 But how are the system and service providers to know how many people
 301 they scared away?  Normally I just quietly walk away.  But today, I
 302 tried a new approach.  I sent the following email (removing the
 303 specifics, as I am not out to take the specific service in question)
 304 to the service provider I decided to not use, to at least give them
 305 one data point on how many users are unhappy with their terms:&lt;/p&gt;

 313 &lt;p&gt;Dear [Site Owner],&lt;/p&gt;
 314
 315 &lt;p&gt;I was eager to test the system, as it seemed like a fun and
 316 interesting application of [some] technology, but after reading the
 317 terms of use and privacy policy on &amp;lt;URL:
 318 https://www.[some.site]/terms-of-use &amp;gt; and &amp;lt;URL:
 319 https://www.[some.site]/privacy-policy &amp;gt; I want you to know that I
 320 decided to turn away.  There were several provisions in the terms and
 321 policy turning me off, but the final term that convinced me was being
 322 asked to sign away my right to reverse engineer.&lt;/p&gt;
 323
 324 &lt;p&gt;--
 325 &lt;br&gt;Happy hacking
 326 &lt;br&gt;Petter Reinholdtsen&lt;/p&gt;
 327 &lt;/blockquote&gt;
 328
 329 &lt;p&gt;I do not expect much to come out of it, but sharing it here in case
 330 others want to give something similar a try too.  If companies
 331 discover their terms scare away enough people, perhaps they will be
 332 improved...&lt;/p&gt;

 344                 <pubDate>Mon, 25 Nov 2019 20:15:00 +0100</pubDate>
 345                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Four years ago, I did a back of the envelope calculation on
 346 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/What_would_it_cost_to_store_all_phone_calls_in_Norway_.html&quot;&gt;how
 347 much it would cost to store audio recordings of all the phone calls in
 348 Norway&lt;/a&gt;, and came up with NOK 2.1 million / EUR 250 000 for the
 349 year 2013.  It is time to repeat the calculation using updated
 350 numbers.  The calculation is based on how much data storage is needed
 351 for each minute of audio, how many minutes all the calls in Norway
 352 sums up to, multiplied by the cost of data storage.&lt;/p&gt;
 353
 354 &lt;p&gt;The number of phone call minutes for 2018 was fetched from
 355 &lt;a href=&quot;https://ekomstatistikken.nkom.no/&quot;&gt;the NKOM statistics
 356 site&lt;/a&gt;, and for 2018, land line calls are listed as 434 238 000
 357 minutes, while mobile phone calls are listed with 7 542 006 000
 358 minutes.  The total number of minutes is thus 7 976 244 000.  For
 359 simplicity, I decided to ignore any advantages in audio compression the
 360 last four years, and continue to assume 60 Kbytes/min as the last
 361 time.&lt;/p&gt;
 362
 363 &lt;p&gt;Storage prices still varies a lot, but as last time, I decide to
 364 take a reasonable big and cheap hard drive, and double its price to
 365 include the surrounding costs into account.  A 10 TB disk cost less
 366 than 4500 NOK / 450 EUR these days, and doubling it give 9000 NOK per
 367 10 TB.&lt;/p&gt;
 368
 369 &lt;p&gt;So, with the parameters in place, lets update the old table
 370 estimating cost for calls in a given year:&lt;/p&gt;
 371
 372 &lt;table border=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
 373 &lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Year&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Call minutes&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Size&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Price in NOK / EUR&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
 374 &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2005&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;24 000 000 000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;1.3 PiB&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;1 170 000 / 117 000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
 375
 376 &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2012&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;18 000 000 000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;1.0 PiB&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;900 000 / 90 000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
 377
 378 &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2013&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;17 000 000 000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;950 TiB&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;855 000 / 85 500&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
 379
 380 &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2018&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;7 976 244 000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;445 TiB&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;401 100 / 40 110&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
 381 &lt;/table&gt;
 382
 383 &lt;p&gt;Both the cost of storage and the number of phone call minutes have
 384 dropped since the last time, bringing the cost down to a level where I
 385 guess even small organizations can afford to store the audio recording
 386 from every phone call taken in a year in Norway.  Of course, this is
 387 just the cost of buying the storage equipment.  Maintenance, need to
 388 be included as well, but the volume of a single year is about a single
 389 rack of hard drives, so it is not much more than I could fit in my own
 390 home.  Wonder how much the electricity bill would raise if I had that
 391 kind of storage?  I doubt it would be more than a few tens of thousand
 392 NOK per year.&lt;/p&gt;

 400                 <pubDate>Sun, 1 Sep 2019 11:10:00 +0200</pubDate>
 401                 <description>&lt;p&gt;While working on identifying and counting movies that can be
 402 legally shared on the Internet, I also looked at the Norwegian movies
 403 listed in IMDb.  So far I have identified 54 candidates published
 404 before 1940 that might no longer be protected by norwegian copyright
 405 law.  Of these, only 29 are available at least in part from the
 406 Norwegian National Library.  It can be assumed that the remaining 25
 407 movies are lost.  It seem most useful to identify the copyright status
 408 of movies that are not lost.  To verify that the movie is really no
 409 longer protected, one need to verify the list of copyright holders and
 410 figure out if and when they died.  I&#39;ve been able to identify some of
 411 them, but for some it is hard to figure out when they died.&lt;/p&gt;
 412
 413 &lt;/p&gt;This is the list of 29 movies both available from the library and
 414 possibly no longer protected by copyright law.  The year range
 415 (1909-1979 on the first line) is year of publication and last year
 416 with copyright protection.&lt;/p&gt;

 448 &lt;/pre&gt;
 449
 450 To be sure which one of these can be legally shared on the Internet,
 451 in addition to verifying the right holders list is complete, one need
 452 to verify the death year of these persons:
 453
 454 &lt;pre&gt;
 455 Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson (dead 1910) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0085085/
 456 Gustav Adolf Olsen (missing death year) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0647652/
 457 Gustav Lund (missing death year) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0526168/

 465 Thomas W. Schwartz (missing death year) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2616250/
 466 &lt;/pre&gt;
 467
 468 &lt;p&gt;Perhaps you can help me figuring death year of those missing it, or
 469 right holders if some are missing in IMDb?  It would be nice to have a
 470 definite list of Norwegian movies that are legal to share on the
 471 Internet.&lt;/p&gt;
 472
 473 &lt;/p&gt;This is the list of 25 movies not available from the library and
 474 possibly no longer protected by copyright law:&lt;/p&gt;

 501 1938-2008 ( 70 year) En Harmony - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1007975/
 502 &lt;/pre&gt;
 503
 504 &lt;p&gt;Several of these movies completely lack right holder information in
 505 IMDb and elsewhere.  Without access to a copy of the movie, it is
 506 often impossible to get the list of people involved in making the
 507 movie, making it impossible to figure out the correct copyright
 508 status.&lt;/p&gt;
 509
 510 &lt;p&gt;Not listed here are the movies still protected by copyright law.
 511 Their copyright terms varies from 79 to 144 years, according to the
 512 information I have available so far.  One of the non-lost movies might
 513 change status next year,
 514 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1008007/&quot;&gt;Mustads Mono from 1920&lt;/a&gt;.
 515 The next one might be
 516 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0347215/&quot;&gt;Hvor isbjørnen ferdes
 517 from 1935&lt;/a&gt; in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;

 532 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/kz4e3e/millions-of-books-are-secretly-in-the-public-domain-you-can-download-them-free&quot;&gt;identifying
 533 books published in the USA that are now in the public domain&lt;/a&gt;,
 534 inspired me to update the scripts I use to track down movies that are
 535 in the public domain.  This involved updating the script used to
 536 extract lists of movies believed to be in the public domain, to work
 537 with the latest version of the source web sites.  In particular the
 538 new edition of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://retrofilmvault.com/&quot;&gt;Retro Film
 539 Vault&lt;/a&gt; web site now seem to list all the films available from that
 540 distributor, bringing the films identified there to more than 12.000
 541 movies, and I was able to connect 46% of these to IMDB titles.&lt;/p&gt;
 542
 543 &lt;p&gt;The new total is 16307 IMDB IDs (aka films) in the public domain or
 544 creative commons licensed, and unknown status for 31460 movies
 545 (possibly duplicates of the 16307).&lt;/p&gt;
 546
 547 &lt;p&gt;The complete data set is available from
 548 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/public-domain-free-imdb&quot;&gt;a
 549 public git repository&lt;/a&gt;, including the scripts used to create it.&lt;/p&gt;
 550

 552 far:&lt;/p&gt;
