Ask HN: Where can I find pornography that is in the public domain?
It seems kind of unlikely, but is there a website where people submit pornography that is in the public domain?
- thyselius 6y agoPleeeease tell us why you want that
- Koshkin 6y agoAn unencumbered research paper?
- synthc 6y agoIt's the only thing that turns him on.
- SlowRobotAhead 6y agoShe told me the only thing she was into was sex in public domain.
- tshanmu 6y agoThis may be the thing one would build in lockdown..
- buraksarica 6y agoIf you need it for research purposes, there are NSFW datasets out there. Just google it.
- downerending 6y agoGuess Rule 34 really is true.
- Glyptodon 6y agoIf you specifically look for 19th century stuff you can find articles with references and it'll be public domain. But I kind of doubt that's what you're looking for.
- ansgri 6y agoWhere the CC-BY (lots on Flickr) or Unsplash license is really not sufficient?
- raceconditioner 6y agoYeah, I've been using Flickr for my project but I was just curious if something else in the public domain existed. Also, does Unsplash accept pornography? I couldn't really find anything on there.
- ansgri 6y agoSorry, I misread as “photography” in general.
- jaakl 6y agoIs it you, RMS?
- Giorgi 6y agoAint any amateur porn public domain though?
- jadell 6y agoNot unless it's released. Anything anyone creates is automatically under copyright whether they declare it or not. Of course, most people making amateur porn probably won't defend their copyright in court, which is de facto the same thing.
- Turing_Machine 6y agohttps://copyright.cornell.edu/publicdomain https://copyright.cornell.edu/publicdomain It's complicated. I would guess that there is an awful lot of vintage porn out there that was published without a proper notice, registration, and/or renewal of the copyright (because people were often put in jail for producing porn back in those days, it was highly unlikely that they would register the copyright). Modern works don't require notice or registration to be protected, but the rules were different in the past. This is U.S. law. Laws in other countries differ considerably.
- NotSammyHagar 6y agoIf people post their own pictures without a copyright notice, are they by default in the public domain? There are plenty of places people post porn. A friend told me see reddit.com/r/ <there are many nsfw websites there>. Just google it. Unlike many other places, in gone wild at least people are generally posting their own stuff. It's kind of an amazing concept, that there are apparently hundreds of thousands of people over time that are willing to post pics of themselves naked.
- gshdg 6y agoAnything published without a copyright notice still has a copyright. > Until March 1, 1989, a published work had to contain a valid copyright notice to receive protection under the copyright laws. But this requirement is no longer in force — works first published after March 1, 1989, need not include a copyright notice to gain protection under the law. https://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/faqs/copyright-protection/ https://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/faqs/copyright-protect...

- JuanTono 6y agoInteresting... In that situation how is the licence determined? According to the platform policy?
- Jugurtha 6y agoDoes it have to be public domain? Maybe you could get in touch with adult entertainment organizations, explain your project, and ask for the data. Beware a Tres Comas bottle on the delete key.
- masonic 6y agoMost pornography is in the pubic domain.
