I don't know if this will help, but there are a lot of free-to-use silent films at Wikimedia Commons which all have copyright status indicated; maybe some of these are the same ones?
Leading Indian artist Anita Dube accused of ‘intellectual theft’ after using protest poem in Delhi gallery show https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2025/04/24/leading-indian-artist-anita-dube-accused-of-stealing-protest-poem-for-delhi-gallery-showis-it-legal?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Artmarket #Copyright
TIL that the price of printers, USB sticks, disks, etc. sold in Germany includes royalty payments to agencies paying residuals to artists & authors.
Reason: It's assumed these devices/media will be used by individuals to store/copy copyrighted materials.
Of course, piracy is still a crime. And AI scrapers can steal with impunity.
You wouldn’t steal a font… or would you? Turns out the iconic anti-piracy PSA that warned us about digital theft was itself a bit light on licensing—its font was a pirated typeface by Just van Rossum.

I just learned from another classical guitarist's experience that YouTube's AI identifies a video as a possible copyvio if it finds a previous video using the same melody.
They'll overturn it on appeal (usually), but what a pain for classical musicians! Most of the repertoire has long been in the Public Domain for years (more often, centuries).
Basically, they're forcing users to train their AI for them by hurling out false allegations.

Last week I gave a talk and recorded a podcast at WPI about AI and the creative economy as a preface to a workshop on "perturbed hypotheticals" modeling relationships in the arts to talk about ethics. Both recordings and the podcast transcript are now available here for anyone who's curious!

Meta ( allegedly ) tried to hire 3D artists to justify in court that 3D art is apparently so easy and quick to make, that it is uncopyrightable, so they could not ask for permission from 3D artists for training their AI.

Yeah, that's "the solution" (sarcasm): #OpenAI is going to buy #Chrome to stop #Alphabet from monopolizing the search market with #Google integrated in this #WebBrowser.
First of all, stopping Google's monopolization–or that of #Meta/ #Facebook, #Twitter / #X, #Microsoft or any other #BigTech product–is so 2015 and seem to me like a staged charade.
Second, the fact that other companies threatening our society due to #copyright and #privacy violations speculate about buying reveals that this is not about regulation but #whitewashing a brand and strategically combining tools to even better exploit the resource of human data.
