Classic Cinema Online!
A great selection of copyright free classic movies from the public domain.
All movies in our collection are free to watch online due to copyright expiration.
Movies are a form of art that can be enjoyed by people all over the world. They provide entertainment, education and inspiration to viewers everywhere. However, not all movies remain in circulation forever; some eventually fall into the public domain.
Public domain is defined as works or materials that have no copyright protection and are available for anyone to use without permission from the original creator or author. This means that once a movie falls into this category, it becomes free for everyone to watch, share and even modify if they wish.
The most common way for a movie to enter the public domain is when its copyright expires after a certain period of time has passed since its release date. In many countries around the world, including Canada and United States, copyrights last between 50-70 years depending on how old the film is at expiration date (for example: films released before 1923 will expire 95 years after their initial publication). After this point any person may freely distribute copies of these films without fear of legal repercussions due to expired copyrights laws protecting them anymore.
Another way for movies to become part of public domain is through abandonment by their creators/authors who choose not renewing their rights over them – either intentionally or unintentionally – thus allowing others access them with no restrictions whatsoever. For instance, there are several classic silent films such as The Great Train Robbery (1903) which were never renewed so they became part of public domain long ago.
