  14                 <description>&lt;p&gt;While working on identifying and counting movies that can be
  15 legally shared on the Internet, I also looked at the Norwegian movies
  16 listed in IMDb.  So far I have identified 54 candidates published
  17 before 1940 that might no longer be protected by norwegian copyright
  18 law.  Of these, only 29 are available at least in part from the
  19 Norwegian National Library.  It can be assumed that the remaining 25
  20 movies are lost.  It seem most useful to identify the copyright status
  21 of movies that are not lost.  To verify that the movie is really no
  22 longer protected, one need to verify the list of copyright holders and
  23 figure out if and when they died.  I&#39;ve been able to identify some of
  24 them, but for some it is hard to figure out when they died.&lt;/p&gt;
  25
  26 &lt;/p&gt;This is the list of 29 movies both available from the library and
  27 possibly no longer protected by copyright law.  The year range
  28 (1909-1979 on the first line) is year of publication and last year
  29 with copyright protection.&lt;/p&gt;

  61 &lt;/pre&gt;
  62
  63 To be sure which one of these can be legally shared on the Internet,
  64 in addition to verifying the right holders list is complete, one need
  65 to verify the death year of these persons:
  66
  67 &lt;pre&gt;
  68 Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson (dead 1910) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0085085/
  69 Gustav Adolf Olsen (missing death year) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0647652/
  70 Gustav Lund (missing death year) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0526168/
  71 John W. Brunius (dead 1937) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0116307/
  72 Ola Cornelius (missing death year) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1227236/
  73 Oskar Omdal (dead 1927) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3116241/
  74 Paul Berge (missing death year) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0074006/

  78 Thomas W. Schwartz (missing death year) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2616250/
  79 &lt;/pre&gt;
  80
  81 &lt;p&gt;Perhaps you can help me figuring death year of those missing it, or
  82 right holders if some are missing in IMDb?  It would be nice to have a
  83 definite list of Norwegian movies that are legal to share on the
  84 Internet.&lt;/p&gt;
  85
  86 &lt;/p&gt;This is the list of 25 movies not available from the library and
  87 possibly no longer protected by copyright law:&lt;/p&gt;

 114 1938-2008 ( 70 year) En Harmony - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1007975/
 115 &lt;/pre&gt;
 116
 117 &lt;p&gt;Several of these movies completely lack right holder information in
 118 IMDb and elsewhere.  Without access to a copy of the movie, it is
 119 often impossible to get the list of people involved in making the
 120 movie, making it impossible to figure out the correct copyright
 121 status.&lt;/p&gt;
 122
 123 &lt;p&gt;Not listed here are the movies still protected by copyright law.
 124 Their copyright terms varies from 79 to 144 years, according to the
 125 information I have available so far.  One of the non-lost movies might
 126 change status next year,
 127 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1008007/&quot;&gt;Mustads Mono from 1920&lt;/a&gt;.
 128 The next one might be
 129 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0347215/&quot;&gt;Hvor isbjørnen ferdes
 130 from 1935&lt;/a&gt; in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
