  14                 <description>&lt;p&gt;The recent announcement of from the New York Public Library on its
  15 results in
  16 &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
  17 books published in the USA that are now in the public domain&lt;/a&gt;,
  18 inspired me to update the scripts I use to track down movies that are
  19 in the public domain.  This involved updating the script used to
  20 extract lists of movies believed to be in the public domain, to work
  21 with the latest version of the source web sites.  In particular the
  22 new edition of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://retrofilmvault.com/&quot;&gt;Retro Film
  23 Vault&lt;/a&gt; web site now seem to list all the films available from that
  24 distributor, bringing the films identified there to more than 12.000
  25 movies, and I was able to connect 46% of these to IMDB titles.&lt;/p&gt;
  26
  27 &lt;p&gt;The new total is 16307 IMDB IDs (aka films) in the public domain or
  28 creative commons licensed, and unknown status for 31460 movies
  29 (possibly duplicates of the 16307).&lt;/p&gt;
  30
  31 &lt;p&gt;The complete data set is available from
  32 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/public-domain-free-imdb&quot;&gt;a
  33 public git repository&lt;/a&gt;, including the scripts used to create it.&lt;/p&gt;
  34
  35 &lt;p&gt;Anyway, this is the summary of the 28 collected data sources so
  36 far:&lt;/p&gt;
