The Public-Domain Movie Database

Created to assist people in their search for public domain movies and to develop a better understanding of the public domain laws, this database is intended to serve as a source for this need.

Every effort has been made to verify with the U.S. Copyright Office and other sources that the titles and screen images included in this database are in fact a part of the Public Domain.

However, please note that we can not guarantee the exact copyright status of all works; the information provided in this database is the result of researching the above sources. Use of this information is at your own discretion and this website or its owners can not be held liable for misusage.

If you find a movie title in this database that is not a part of the Public Domain, please Contact Us with the appropriate copyright info so that we can either remove or correct it.

In an effort to stay true to the meaning of Public Domain, we will do our best to ensure that all information, images, and user-submitted content on this site is public domain and as such may be freely used at your discretion. We only ask that you save the images and content locally or link to the movie's info page.

If you would like to join us in our efforts, then please contact us at admin@pdmdb.org.
