+ <description><p>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've been able to identify some of
+them, but for some it is hard to figure out when they died.</p>
+
+</p>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.</p>

+</pre>
+
+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:
+
+<pre>
+Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson (dead 1910) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0085085/
+Gustav Adolf Olsen (missing death year) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0647652/

+Thomas W. Schwartz (missing death year) - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2616250/
+</pre>
+
+<p>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.</p>

+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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,
+<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1008007/">Mustads Mono from 1920</a>.
+The next one might be
+<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0347215/">Hvor isbjørnen ferdes
+from 1935</a> in 2024.</p>

- <title>MIME type "text/vnd.sosi" for SOSI map data</title>

- <description><p>As part of my involvement in the work to
-<a href="https://github.com/arkivverket/noark5-tjenestegrensesnitt-standard">standardise
-a REST based API for Noark 5</a>, the Norwegian archiving standard, I
-spent some time the last few months to try to register a
-<a href="https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/">MIME type</a>
-and <a href="https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/PRONOM/">PRONOM
-code</a> for the SOSI file format. The background is that there is a
-set of formats approved for long term storage and archiving in Norway,
-and among these formats, SOSI is the only format missing a MIME type
-and PRONOM code.</p>
-
-<p>What is SOSI, you might ask? To quote Wikipedia: SOSI is short for
-Samordnet Opplegg for Stedfestet Informasjon (literally "Coordinated
-Approach for Spatial Information", but more commonly expanded in
-English to Systematic Organization of Spatial Information). It is a
-text based file format for geo-spatial vector information used in
-Norway. Information about the SOSI format can be found in English
-from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOSI">Wikipedia</a>. The
-specification is available in Norwegian from
-<a href="https://www.kartverket.no/geodataarbeid/Standarder/SOSI/">the
-Norwegian mapping authority</a>. The SOSI standard, which originated
-in the beginning of nineteen eighties, was the inspiration and formed the
-basis for the XML based
-<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_Markup_Language">Geography
-Markup Language</a>.</p>
-
-<p>I have so far written
-<a href="https://github.com/file/file/pull/67">a pattern matching
-rule</a> for the file(1) unix tool to recognize SOSI files, submitted
-a request to the PRONOM project to have a PRONOM ID assigned to the
-format (reference TNA1555078202S60), and today send a request to IANA
-to register the "text/vnd.sosi" MIME type for this format (referanse
-<a href="https://tools.iana.org/public-view/viewticket/1143144">IANA
-#1143144</a>). If all goes well, in a few months, anyone implementing
-the Noark 5 Tjenestegrensesnitt API spesification should be able to
-use an official MIME type and PRONOM code for SOSI files. In
-addition, anyone using SOSI files on Linux should be able to
-automatically recognise the format and web sites handing out SOSI
-files can begin providing a more specific MIME type. So far, SOSI
-files has been handed out from web sites using the
-"application/octet-stream" MIME type, which is just a nice way of
-stating "I do not know". Soon, we will know. :)</p>
