I just read via Boing Boing that the copyright on the original Night of the Living Dead movie has expired and the entire film is available online for download via Archive.org! (Brewster Kahle, I’ll say it again, you rock!)

Incidentally, not only does the Internet Archive have a huge collection of Public Domain movies, it also has what appears to be a growing compilation of Open Source movies (and I don’t think they are talking about code)

My SteVo is currently downloading it for me… WAIT! I thought SteVo was an inanimate object… Zombie Server?

Are we seeing the end to commercial TV? Probably not, but it’s nice to dream…
