Before a film is labeled public domain, the studio checks:
- The original work's status.
- The jurisdiction the channel is publishing into.
- The edition or translation, which can still be protected.
- Music, artwork, photographs, fonts, and restorations, separately.
- Later films, comics, and games, which are left alone.
Status can differ by country. A note on the project page is the public summary, not a promise that every territory treats the source the same way.
If you hold a right you believe a film uses, write through the contact page with the project name and the claim.
