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?

Old movies and audiobooks is exactly the reason why I have archive.org in Prowlarr

Indexer manager for the *arr stack of software. Alternate to Jackett.

I don't know any of those applications, but I'll do my homework.

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.

Unbelievable! Thanks for the info!

Can't seem to get qbit and any of the ARRs to sail together

I usually only use private trackers but am willing to give this a go as a low priority alternative. Thank you for your post.

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."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 years ago

I love ninety-ies movies

Yeah wtf. How'd the DMCA bots find these posts :(

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

If you think DMCA bots aren't trawling around in open piracy forums then I've got some swampland to sell you in Florida.

Some people from Lemmy probably just flagged it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I assume you're joking because that's not really how Lemmy works, for anyone who may not know. My instance is my own, for example. I'm replying to you via Lemmy running on a server I own.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yes, I know. I was just referring to anyone from any federated instance reading it. I used the word Lemmy because it's easier.

It's basically the same thing in the end anyways. How the backend works is not really relevant.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you for sharing, person from Lemmy

I've got some swampland to sell you in Florida.

But don't worry, it comes with a bridge!

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

RIP Brandon Lee. So sad

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I remember seeing that movie when I was a kid, I also remember liking it a lot but can vaguely remember anything. Does it still hold up ?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was really worried that it wouldn't hold up, but it does! It holds up well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Love your username. I'm Kiazi's children, their faces wet, every time I watch that ep.

Temba, his arms wide!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Prequel in spirit or are the events tied in?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

1994 flintstones was amazing
