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.
I love ninety-ies movies
…aaand it’s gone
Yeah wtf. How'd the DMCA bots find these posts :(
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for sharing, person from Lemmy

But don't worry, it comes with a bridge!
cool, i've always wanted floridian swamp under a brige!
Any random internet users can create an account and upload stuff to the internet archive. Just be careful when you download softwares there.
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.
RIP Brandon Lee. So sad
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 ?
I was really worried that it wouldn't hold up, but it does! It holds up well.
Love your username. I'm Kiazi's children, their faces wet, every time I watch that ep.
Temba, his arms wide!
Prequel in spirit or are the events tied in?
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.
Re. Your Username: Darmock, his gas tank empty.
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..
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.
1994 flintstones was amazing
