                <description>&lt;p&gt;Det er lenge siden jeg har sett på den norske stavekontrollen, sist
jeg skrev om temaet var i 2016, og i mellomtiden har nettstedet
no.speling.org forsvunnet, og både git-depotet på Alioth og
mailman-tjenesten som hadde epostlistene for oversettelser blitt lagt
ned.  Men bokmål og nynorsk trenger fortsatt stavekontroll, så etter
et par purringer fra en som har lyst til å forbedre stavekontrollen
har jeg endelig fått lagt ut ny offentlig kopi av git-depotet.  Jeg
valgte gitlab foran github..  Siste utgave av stavekontrollen kan
hentes ned fra
&lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/norwegian-language-tools/spell-norwegian&quot;&gt;https://gitlab.com/norwegian-language-tools/spell-norwegian&lt;/a&gt;.
Ingen ny versjon i denne omgang altså, bare et nytt sted å samle
forbedringer til den frie norske stavekontrollen. :)

                <title>Nikita version 0.5 released - updated free software archive API server</title>
                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Nikita_version_0_5_released___updated_free_software_archive_API_server.html</link>
                <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Nikita_version_0_5_released___updated_free_software_archive_API_server.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Mon, 2 Mar 2020 19:00:00 +0100</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;Today, after many months of development, a new release of
&lt;ahref=&quot;https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core/&quot;&gt;Nikita
Noark 5 core project&lt;/a&gt; was finally
&lt;ahref=&quot;https://lists.nuug.no/pipermail/nikita-noark/2020-March/000519.html&quot;&gt;announced
on the project mailing list&lt;/a&gt;.  The Nikita free software solution is
an implementation of the Norwegian archive standard Noark 5 used by
government offices in Norway.  These were the changes in version 0.5
since version 0.4, see the email link above for links to a demo
site:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Updated to Noark 5 versjon 5.0 API specification.
    &lt;ul&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Changed formatting of _links from [] to {} to match IETF draft
      on JSON HAL.&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Merged Registrering og Basisregistrering in version 4 to
      combined Registrering.&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;DokumentObjekt is now subtype of ArkivEnhet.&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Introducing new entity Arkivnotat.&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Changed all relation keys to use /v5/ instead of /v4/.&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Corrected to use new official relation keys when possible.&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Renamed Sakspart to Part and connect it to Mappe, Registrering
      and Dokumentbeskrivelse instead of only Saksmappe.&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Moved Korrespondansepart connection from Journalpost to
      Registrering.&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Moved Part and Korrespondansepart from package sakarkiv to
      arkivstruktur.&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Renamed presedensstatus to presedensStatus.&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Use new JSON content-type &quot;application/vnd.noark5+json&quot;.&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Updated prepopulated format list to use PRONOM codes.&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Implemented endpoint for system information.&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Implemented national identifiers for both file and record.&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Implemented comments.&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;implemented sign off.&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;implemented conversion.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Improved/implemented OData search and paging support for more entities.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;No longer exposes attribute Dokumentobjekt.referanseDokumentfil,
   one should use the relation in _links instead.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Corrected relation keys under
   https://rel.arkivverket.no/noark5/v5/api/administrasjon/, replacing
   &#39;administrasjon&#39; with &#39;admin&#39;.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Fixed several security and stability issues discovered by Coverity.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Corrected handling ETag errors, now return code 409.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Improved handling of Kryssreferanse.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Changed internal database model to use UUID/SystemID as primary keys
   in tables.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Changed internal database table names to use package prefix.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Changed time zone handling for date and datetime attributes, to be
   more according to the new definition in the API specification.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Change revoke-token to only drop token on POST requests, not GET.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Updated to newer Spring version.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Changed primary key and URL component for metadata code lists to
   use the &#39;kode&#39; value instead of a SystemID.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Corrected implementation of Part and Sakspart.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Changed instance lists with subtypes (like .../registrering/ and
   .../mappe/) to include the attributes and _links entries for the
   subtype in the supertype lists.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Adjusted _links relations to make it possible to figure out the
   entity of an instance using the self-&gt;href-&gt;relation key lookup
   method.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Fixed several end points to make sure GET, PUT, POST and DELETE
   match each other.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Updated DELETE endpoints to work with UUID based entity
   identifiers.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Restructured code to use more common URL related constants in entry
   point values and replace @RequestMapping with method specific
   annotations.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Added first unit test code.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Updated web GUI to work with the updated API.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Changed integer fields, enforce them as numeric.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Rewrote and simplify metadata handling to use common service and
   controller code instead of duplicating for each type.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Implemented the remaining metadata types.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Changed Country list source from Wikipedia to Debian iso-codes and
   updated the list of Countries.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Many many corrections and improvements.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;On Tuesday, two scietific articles we have been working on for a
while, was finally accepted for publication into
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.emerald.com/insight/publication/issn/0956-5698&quot;&gt;Records
Management Journal&lt;/a&gt;.  Still waiting for the assigned DOI urls to
start working, but you can have a look at the LaTeX originals here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The first article is
&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2020-02-25-rmj-iot-record-keeping.pdf&quot;&gt;A
record-keeping approach to managing IoT-data for government
agencies&lt;/a&gt;&quot; (&lt;a href=&quot;https://doi.org/10.1108/RMJ-09-2019-0056&quot;&gt;DOI
10.1108/RMJ-09-2019-0056&lt;/a&gt;) by Thomas Sødring, Petter Reinholdtsen
and David Massey, and sketches some approaches for storing measurement
data (aka Internet of Things sensor data) in a archive, thus providing
a well defined mechanism for screening and deletion of the information &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The second article is
&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2020-02-25-rmj-block-chain-record-keeping.pdf&quot;&gt;Publishing
and using record-keeping structural information in a blockchain&lt;/a&gt;&quot;

10.1108/RMJ-09-2019-0050&lt;a/&gt;) by Thomas Sødring, Petter Reinholdtsen
and Svein Ølnes, where we describe a way for third parties to validate
authenticity and thus improve trust in the records kept in a
archive.&lt;/p&gt;

                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Redaksjon_p__plass_for_Noark_5_tjenestegrensesnitt.html</link>

                <pubDate>Wed, 5 Feb 2020 14:45:00 +0100</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;Arbeidet med å lage et godt, fritt og åpent standardisert maskinelt
grensesnitt for arkivering, med tilhørende fri
programvareimplementasjon fortsetter.  Jeg snakker om
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/arkivverket/noark5-tjenestegrensesnitt-standard&quot;&gt;Noark
5 Tjenestegrensesnitt&lt;/a&gt; og
&lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core/&quot;&gt;Nikita&lt;/a&gt;.
Siste nytt etter
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20200127-noark-seminar/&quot;&gt;seminaret
for noen dager siden&lt;/a&gt;, er vi i Nikita-prosjektet har fått beskjed
fra Arkivverket at det blir satt ned en redaksjon for å videreutvikle
spesifikasjonen.  Redaksjonen består av Mona Danielsen og Anne Sofie
Knutsen ved arkivverket, Thomas Sødring ved OsloMet, og meg selv fra
NUUG.  De to sistenevnte tar seg av de åpenbare forbedringene, mens
hele redaksjonen diskuterer tvilstilfeller.  Jeg håper dette vil bidra
til at vi lykkes i å gjøre denne protokollspesifikasjonen så entydig
og klar at den vil bidra til et velfungerende marked for
arkivsystemer, og sikre at programmer som trenger å snakke med
arkivsystemet kan snakke med enhver implementasjon av
API-spesifikasjonen.  Nikita er den første implementasjonen, men det
bør blir flere.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Det gjenstår riktig nok endel før vi er i mål, selv om svært mye
allerede er på plass.  Med innspill og forslag til forbedringer fra
alle som vil ha et leverandøruavhengig og fullstendig
datamaskinlesbart grensesnitt til arkivet, så tror jeg vi vil
lykkes.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;Like før julaften ble en artikkel jeg har skrevet om vedlikehold av
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/arkivverket/noark5-tjenestegrensesnitt-standard&quot;&gt;Noark
5 Tjenestegrensesnitt&lt;/a&gt; og Nikita publisert i &lt;a
href=&quot;https://www.arkivrad.no/arkivrad&quot;&gt;tidsskriftet Arkivråd&lt;/a&gt;.
Det er basert på
&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
om samme tema&lt;/a&gt; som ble publisert 2019-03-11.  Jeg oppdaget nettopp
at nettsiden til tidsskriftet Arkivråd er oppdatert med siste utgave,
og artikkelen dermed er tilgjengelig for alle. Du finner den i
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.arkivrad.no/sites/arkivrad/files/arkivrad_03_2019_nett.pdf&quot;&gt;PDF-en
til nummer 2019/3 på side 30-33&lt;/a&gt;.  Jeg håper leserne av
tidsskriftet får lyst til å sjekke ut tjenestegrensesnittet og at
artikkelen vil gjøre det enklere for flere å bidra til en enda bedre,
klarere og mer entydig API-spesifikasjon.  Det kan gjøre at
&lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core/&quot;&gt;arkivsystemet
Nikita&lt;/a&gt; kan bli enda bedre når spesifikasjonen forbedres.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;En historie som har betydd endel for meg, og som jeg av og til
tenker på når hverdagen tynger, ble så vidt jeg har klart å finne ut,
skrevet av &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loren_Eiseley&quot;&gt;Loren
Eiseley&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star_Thrower&quot;&gt;i
flere ulike varianter&lt;/a&gt;.  På norsk tror jeg den går under navnet
«Gutten og sjøstjernen», og jeg fant en oversettelse av en utgave av den
hos
&lt;a href=&quot;https://no.quora.com/Hva-er-din-favoritthistorie&quot;&gt;Quora&lt;/a&gt;.
Fant også &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qClChUdlfI&quot;&gt;en
filmatisering&lt;/a&gt;, men den versjonen jeg liker best fant jeg
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/56782.Loren_Eiseley&quot;&gt;hos
Goodreads&lt;/a&gt;.  Jeg oversatte den utgaven til norsk i går, og har lyst
til å dele den med deg:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mens jeg tok en pause fra skrivingen og vandret på en
øde strand ved daggry, så jeg en gutt i det fjerne bøye seg ned og
kaste noe mens han vandret mot meg over den endeløse stranden.  Da han
kom nærmere, kunne jeg se at han kastet sjøstjerner, som var etterlatt
i sanden av tidevannet, tilbake i havet. Da han var nær nok spurte jeg
ham hvorfor han jobbet så hardt på denne merkelige oppgaven. Han sa at
solen snart ville stå opp og tørke sjøstjernene slik at de ville
dø.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jeg sa til ham at dette var helt meningsløst.  Det var kilometer på
kilometer med strand, og det lå sjøstjerner hele veien.  En person
alene kunne ikke gjøre noen forskjell.  Han smilte da han plukket opp
neste sjøstjerne. Mens han kastet den så langt ut i havet som han
klarte sa han, «for denne gjør det en forskjell».  Jeg droppet
skrivingen og tilbrakte resten av morgenen med å kaste
sjøstjerner.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;- Loren Eiseley&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kanskje noe du også kan ha glede av å tenke på når ting virker
håpløst?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Teksten er gjengitt og oversatt basert på utgaven på Good Read,
uten tillatelse fra noen andre enn meg selv.  Jeg håper på tilgivelse,
hvis det er et problem for noen, da det er gjort i beste mening.  Hvis
eventuell rettighetshaver tar kontakt vil jeg fjerne teksten og i
stedet legge ut henvendelsen der teksten kreves fjernet.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg hadde i dag gleden av å oppdage at en artikkel om
&lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core/&quot;&gt;arkivsystemet
Nikita&lt;/a&gt; som vi skrev i sommer, nå er publisert i
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.arkheion.no/&quot;&gt;Arkheion, fagtidsskrift for kommunial
arkivsektor&lt;/a&gt;.  Du finner artikkelen på side 30-33 i nummer 2019/2,
PDF kan lastes ned fra nettstedet til tidsskriftet.  Kanskje
publiseringen kan føre til at noen flere får øynene opp for verdien av
et åpent standardisert API for arkivering og søk i arkivet.&lt;/p&gt;

undermining my privacy, I choose away the service.  I simply do not
have the conscience to accept terms I have no indention of upholding.
But how are the system and service providers to know how many people
they scared away?  Normally I just quietly walk away.  But today, I
tried a new approach.  I sent the following email (removing the
specifics, as I am not out to take the specific service in question)
to the service provider I decided to not use, to at least give them
one data point on how many users are unhappy with their terms:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;Subject: When terms of use turn users away
&lt;br&gt;To: [contact@some.site]

&lt;p&gt;Dear [Site Owner],&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was eager to test the system, as it seemed like a fun and
interesting application of [some] technology, but after reading the
terms of use and privacy policy on &amp;lt;URL:
https://www.[some.site]/terms-of-use &amp;gt; and &amp;lt;URL:
https://www.[some.site]/privacy-policy &amp;gt; I want you to know that I
decided to turn away.  There were several provisions in the terms and
policy turning me off, but the final term that convinced me was being
asked to sign away my right to reverse engineer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-- 
&lt;br&gt;Happy hacking
&lt;br&gt;Petter Reinholdtsen&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I do not expect much to come out of it, but sharing it here in case
others want to give something similar a try too.  If companies
discover their terms scare away enough people, perhaps they will be
improved...&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>What would it cost to store all 2018 phone calls in Norway?</title>
                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/What_would_it_cost_to_store_all_2018_phone_calls_in_Norway_.html</link>
                <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/What_would_it_cost_to_store_all_2018_phone_calls_in_Norway_.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Mon, 25 Nov 2019 20:15:00 +0100</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;Four years ago, I did a back of the envelope calculation on
&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
much it would cost to store audio recordings of all the phone calls in
Norway&lt;/a&gt;, and came up with NOK 2.1 million / EUR 250 000 for the
year 2013.  It is time to repeat the calculation using updated
numbers.  The calculation is based on how much data storage is needed
for each minute of audio, how many minutes all the calls in Norway
sums up to, multiplied by the cost of data storage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The number of phone call minutes for 2018 was fetched from
&lt;a href=&quot;https://ekomstatistikken.nkom.no/&quot;&gt;the NKOM statistics
site&lt;/a&gt;, and for 2018, land line calls are listed as 434 238 000
minutes, while mobile phone calls are listed with 7 542 006 000
minutes.  The total number of minutes is thus 7 976 244 000.  For
simplicity, I decided to ignore any advantages in audio compression the
last four years, and continue to assume 60 Kbytes/min as the last
time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Storage prices still varies a lot, but as last time, I decide to
take a reasonable big and cheap hard drive, and double its price to
include the surrounding costs into account.  A 10 TB disk cost less
than 4500 NOK / 450 EUR these days, and doubling it give 9000 NOK per
10 TB.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, with the parameters in place, lets update the old table
estimating cost for calls in a given year:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table border=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
&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;
&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;

&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;

&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;

&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;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Both the cost of storage and the number of phone call minutes have
dropped since the last time, bringing the cost down to a level where I
guess even small organizations can afford to store the audio recording
from every phone call taken in a year in Norway.  Of course, this is
just the cost of buying the storage equipment.  Maintenance, need to
be included as well, but the volume of a single year is about a single
rack of hard drives, so it is not much more than I could fit in my own
home.  Wonder how much the electricity bill would raise if I had that
kind of storage?  I doubt it would be more than a few tens of thousand
NOK per year.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>Norwegian movies that might be legal to share on the Internet</title>
                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Norwegian_movies_that_might_be_legal_to_share_on_the_Internet.html</link>
                <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Norwegian_movies_that_might_be_legal_to_share_on_the_Internet.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Sun, 1 Sep 2019 11:10:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;While working on identifying and counting movies that can be
legally shared on the Internet, I also looked at the Norwegian movies
listed in IMDb.  So far I have identified 54 candidates published
before 1940 that might no longer be protected by norwegian copyright
law.  Of these, only 29 are available at least in part from the
Norwegian National Library.  It can be assumed that the remaining 25
movies are lost.  It seem most useful to identify the copyright status
of movies that are not lost.  To verify that the movie is really no
longer protected, one need to verify the list of copyright holders and
figure out if and when they died.  I&#39;ve been able to identify some of
them, but for some it is hard to figure out when they died.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;This is the list of 29 movies both available from the library and
possibly no longer protected by copyright law.  The year range
(1909-1979 on the first line) is year of publication and last year
with copyright protection.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;

1939-2009 ( 70 year) Til Vesterheimen - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032036/
&lt;/pre&gt;

To be sure which one of these can be legally shared on the Internet,
in addition to verifying the right holders list is complete, one need
to verify the death year of these persons:

&lt;pre&gt;
Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson (dead 1910) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0085085/
Gustav Adolf Olsen (missing death year) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0647652/
Gustav Lund (missing death year) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0526168/
John W. Brunius (dead 1937) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0116307/
Ola Cornelius (missing death year) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1227236/
Oskar Omdal (dead 1927) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3116241/
Paul Berge (missing death year) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0074006/
Peter Lykke-Seest (dead 1948) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0528064/
Roald Amundsen (dead 1928) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0025468/
Sverre Halvorsen (dead 1936) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1299757/
Thomas W. Schwartz (missing death year) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2616250/
&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Perhaps you can help me figuring death year of those missing it, or
right holders if some are missing in IMDb?  It would be nice to have a
definite list of Norwegian movies that are legal to share on the
Internet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;This is the list of 25 movies not available from the library and
possibly no longer protected by copyright law:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Several of these movies completely lack right holder information in
IMDb and elsewhere.  Without access to a copy of the movie, it is
often impossible to get the list of people involved in making the
movie, making it impossible to figure out the correct copyright
status.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not listed here are the movies still protected by copyright law.
Their copyright terms varies from 79 to 144 years, according to the
information I have available so far.  One of the non-lost movies might
change status next year,
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1008007/&quot;&gt;Mustads Mono from 1920&lt;/a&gt;.
The next one might be
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0347215/&quot;&gt;Hvor isbjørnen ferdes
from 1935&lt;/a&gt; in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
