When does such material become public domain?
- icebraining 11y agoThat depends on the age and location of the footage, and where the viewer is (it can be public domain in some countries, and not in others).
- JupiterMoon 11y agoIf it is in the public domain does this override the Standard Youtube Licence? I.e. can on legally download the video? Or does one still have to use the AP's webpage which seems to require sign up (and then I don't know what).
- lmm 11y agoIf the content that's on Youtube is in the public domain then yes. Note that sometimes restoration involves enough creative work to make the result copyrightable even if the original footage was in the public domain.
- witty_username 11y agoI don't think you can legally download the video from Youtube; their TOS prohibits this. Of course I don't think Youtube has sued anyone for this and it's not a big deal. Copyright wise it's legal I believe to use the content.
