Petter Reinholdtsen: Legal to share more than 16,000 movies listed on IMDB?

Legal to share more than 16,000 movies listed on IMDB?

10th August 2019

The recent announcement of from the New York Public Library on its +results in +identifying +books published in the USA that are now in the public domain, +inspired me to update the scripts I use to track down movies that are +in the public domain. This involved updating the script used to +extract lists of movies believed to be in the public domain, to work +with the latest version of the source web sites. In particular the +new edition of the Retro Film +Vault web site now seem to list all the films available from that +distributor, bringing the films identified there to more than 12.000 +movies, and I was able to connect 46% of these to IMDB titles.

+ +

The new total is 16307 IMDB IDs (aka films) in the public domain or +creative commons licensed, and unknown status for 31460 movies +(possibly duplicates of the 16307).

+ +

The complete data set is available from +a +public git repository, including the scripts used to create it.

+ +

Anyway, this is the summary of the 28 collected data sources so +far:
