Public
Domain explained
This
is footage that has never been, or is no longer, in copyright and is
not subject to the usual licensing constrictions and prices.
It is material that was produced by American government agencies, or
gifted to the American people by producers, thereby lifting any existing
copyright. The Universal Newsreel, for example, covered all the main
international events, and in many cases contains footage identical or
similar to other newsreels which may be in copyright.
When
you acquire public domain material from FOOTAGE FARM you no longer have to worry about licences
or counting seconds and frames. You can finalise your archive
budget once you’ve ordered your masters rather than have to wait
for the online to calculate footage returns.
