This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 4181 from Monday the 12th of August 2024.
|
|
Today's show is entitled, Downloading Out of Copyright Movies.
|
|
It is the first show by Newhost Bob and is about two minutes long.
|
|
It carries a clean flag.
|
|
The summary is, Using Tour Proxy with Whitey Dash to LP to get public domain movies.
|
|
I'm using text-to-speech as suggested by Beza in Episode HBR 4167, removing another obstacle
|
|
to recording an HBR show.
|
|
I prefer to use Piper as suggested by Archer 72 in HBR 4172.
|
|
For this tutorial, I suggest how it might be possible to use Tor browser to download
|
|
difficult to find public domain works.
|
|
You can find which movie you are allowed to download using Wikipedia.
|
|
The article is a list of films in the public domain in the United States.
|
|
I found out about this list after reading the article Copyright in Zombies, Vampires,
|
|
Frankenstein, and more.
|
|
As an example, The Night of the Living Dead released in 1968, immediately came out of copyright
|
|
due to missing copyright notice and errors from the distributor.
|
|
You can browse the list until you find the movie you want to watch.
|
|
Next double-check that that version is legal to download in your jurisdiction.
|
|
You could then open the Tor browser and do a Duck Duck Go video search.
|
|
In our hypothetical example, say you found the video on the site ok dot are you forward
|
|
search video, forward search 1 2 3 4.
|
|
You could use whitey-dlp to download it via the command line.
|
|
whitey-dlp is a feature rich command line audio and video downloader.
|
|
You just type whitey-dlp followed by the URL to download the movie.
|
|
As well as letting you browse privately, Tor also enables a socks proxy which other applications
|
|
can use.
|
|
That way your home IP address is not recorded.
|
|
You just add dash dash proxy option and point it to the Tor port of 9,150.
|
|
An example is in the show notes for this episode.
|
|
I am in no way condoning the downloading of legal material and in not suggesting in
|
|
any way that you do so.
