Even more public domain and Creative Commons videos

More and more places online are becoming archival repositories for hard to find media, including public domain or otherwise free to use video through Creative Commons attribution.

See this post of 9 public domain video sources at webtvwire.

There were a few I hadn't yet mentioned in the earlier post on public domain video. On closer inspection, a number of films are not released under public domain, but under a Creative Commons license specifying certain rights. Most Creative Commons works don't allow your to use the work for commercial purposes, but this also varies by license. Although most of these are public domain or otherwise free to use, make sure you check the fine print before using any of them in a commercial project. You've been warned!

Here are the new video resources:

B Movie public domain madness at Openflv.org (make sure you select videos tagged public domain. The link takes you to those tagged videos.


iMovies at blogspot has a catalogue of free to download or stream public domain movies.


Another entry into government public domain is at The National Archives, hosted on google.

There is even comedy public domain video at PDComedy. Think cartoons and old TV shows.


Classic high quality videos on the DivX platform can be found at Stage6.

You can find 1000 legal downloadable movie torrents (a thousand of them) at public domain torrent.


And more movies can be found at Entertainment Magazine's free movie catalog (EMOL.org). The site also includes free foreign films and foreign language movies.
