Thank you open air cinema for your information regarding public domain. So sad to know after 16yrs of lapse you r not Monetized because of the deficiency of your subscriber criterias in YTPP. IF u really present then definitely REPLY me. 👍👍👍
i know that the 1937 version of a star is born is public domain because of lack of renewal. does this mean i can show clips of that movie in my own? i want to use the audio from the opening scene
One caveat here. The clear copyright notice applies only to films released after 1977. Additionally….. A person claiming copyright does NOT need to file the proper paperwork for a film to be copywritten immediately. It becomes automatic upon publication and is retroactive to the first date of publication. This is true for any work published after 1977. I mention it because I’ve seen a lot of people claiming people can use old commercials published in the late 70s and early 80s freely. Or who believe they can republish RU-vid videos without recourse Even without displaying the notice in modern times, the video is the copywritten property of the creator. And at any point the creator can file the proper paperwork to protect it retroactively.
Hi Laurentiu! We would advise you to contact legal advisor to be rest assured, however from what we know - you can do anything you want with public domain movies: monetise, change, dub..
