Process motion picture entries too?

Open petterreinholdtsen opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Hi. I love what you have been able to do here. I have been trying to identify and count the number of out of copyright movies for a few years now. One idea I had to be able to do so for movies created in USA is to check for renewals, but this proved hard without machine readable information about movie renewals. Could you please extend your XML catalog to also include the motion picture entries?

See http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Idea_for_finding_all_public_domain_movies_in_the_USA.html for my sketch from a few years ago on how to do this. Perhaps your approach is better?
