I couldn’t find the Flintstones movie from 1994 anywhere but googling it I found it here https://archive.org/details/the-flintstones_202304 and you can either download it via torrent or directly. On top of it it says that the movie is CC0 which means Public Domain. But that can’t really be, it’s only 29 years old.

That must be pirated, or not?

The law is tricky. From Wikipedia “For works that received their copyright before 1978, a renewal had to be filed in the work’s 28th year with the Copyright Office for its term of protection to be extended. The need for renewal was eliminated by the Copyright Renewal Act of 1992, but works that had already entered the public domain by non-renewal did not regain copyright protection.”

I hope that’s the case here. The sad thing is that not having the rights to something doesn’t stops you from filling a claim, even scammers fill DMCA claims over original content, the movie is already down from archive.

Yes, it’s quite crazy. I found archive of old comics, the entire series of Outer Limits (1995), all ScummVM games, tons of ROMS, and books, a lot of books.

Speaking of movies from the 90s, we just watched The Crow on Halloween (Devil’s) night, and that movie is definitely a John Wick prequel.

I just mean that the style of the movie is heavily copied by John Wick.

I think I remember an interview where Keanu openly states that The Crow, and a few other classics were the inspiration for JW. Mission Impossible, and The Boondock Saints would also be candidates.

That’s heckin cool. I’ll see if I can find that interview.

Damn its gone now… I really think we need to backup IA. Contents frequently disappear because of copyrights…

Any random internet users can create an account and upload stuff to the internet archive. Just be careful when you download softwares there.

Radarr - Manages Movies

Sonarr - Manages TV Series

Lidarr - Manages Music

Prowlarr - Manages torrent and usenet indexers for the above three

Each of these are used to automate media collection by searching indexers for torrents and nzbs matching media you’ve added to your library, pass them to your download client(s), and sort the resulting downloads into your media folders renaming them accordingly.

They can monitor rss feeds and perform regular searches to find newly released/added media, upgrade existing files to better quality ones, or simply monitor for things that hadn’t been found previously. They can also monitor lists from imdb to automatically add media to your library.

Entire romsets for basically every console.

Yeah I didn’t want to say much to draw attention to it, but it does have the best Wii game ever (even though it doesn’t list it in the top 10, which is criminal).

There’s a wiki of the high seas that may help find a certain archive.

You’re allowed to say the naughty thing out loud here. And since I have no clue what your comment is referring to, that would be helpful in fact. (Googling “db zer0” got me music-related stuff.)

I think he is referring to my home instance - lemmy.dbzer0.com

Piracy Wiki/megathread. There’s an archive in the Roms section that you can find Wii .isos on. Every one I’ve tried has been clean.

This is from /r/roms

https://r-roms.github.io/megathread/nintendo/

Has links to Nintendo games there and also shows archive.org source for them too.
