Lovers of old films but who are not in the industry often find it difficult to learn the copyright status of their favorite movies. Ebay and Amazon obviously don't care at all about copyright and routinely list products that are brazenly in breach of copyright. On the other hand, several "missing-in-action" films are rumored to be out of copyright but it is impossible to check if the rumor is correct.
We have at HTF several members who seem to have inside information about the copyright status of rare films. I'd like to use this specialised knowledge for the benefit of outsiders like me.
At present a DVD of the Universal-International mid-1950s film Raw Edge is on sale on the Internet.
The seller claims the film is out of copyright and is in the public domain. Does anyone know if this is true?
