Just curious about how people go about selling films that are in the Public Domain eg
http://stores.ebay.com/Retro-Moving-Images?_trksid=p2047675.l2563
Not saying there is anything wrong with this seller but does anyone know it all works? I was wondering whether someone could simply cop a film from another DVD and add a bit of artwork, etc to the cover and then legally re sell it under a different banner because it is public domain.
This Vintage Movie Poster Forum is powered by some old cinema posters, the flame retardant properties of a Top Gun Daybill, and a
British Quad which has been folded just the right amount of times and shoved under one of the corners to stop the place from wobbling.

It looks like he is complying with that policy. He does say they are in the public domain.
There are many other sites selling public domain films with some of them are selling non-public domain titles listed being in public domain due to some gray areas but are most likely are still copyrighted.
