It's not legal, technically.
But Cartoon Network's not going to sue TylerL for free advertising.
At least, that's how I understand it.

You mean the old ones? I believe those are part of public domain now.

IM sure Nobu will correct me on this but...

Public domain is entertainment without any owner. Whether thats an issue with age or take overs. It means old songs especially that are public domain. In other words free for the public to use. A good example of this is the King Kong remake. WHich didnt have to pay any rights to the orignal owners because the movie had become public domain.

Thanks a lot Fodder. One more question though. Do you (or anyone reading this) know where I can find a list or source of animes in the public domain.

Oh, sorry. Didn't read the thread title, and just figured it was a question about TDA's normal stuff.
Yeah, I think those are public domain now.

I don't think you'll find any.
Most modern anime is way too recent, you'd have to look for pre-WW II stuff.

But there are plenty of good American public-domain cartoons to be had at your local video retailer. Razz Wink

You can find a lot of nice public domain stuff at places like WalMart, Target and dollar stores now.
Check for a display of thin DVDs tightly packed in boxes of a hundred. There are some real gems in there like The Lucy Show, the Three Stooges cartoons, Fleischer Superman, Flash Gordon, etc etc.

Things like Anime intros/endings and promotional videos are more-or-less created for the promotion of a certain property. Companies rarely have problems with the free retransmission of advertisements.

Hmm, so if I want to search for animes in the public domain I have to go to Japan or get it off ebay?

What about animes unlicensed in the U.S. (but licensed in Japan)? Or does licensing work internationally?

Thats a real grey area. Technically, you can obtain unlicensed program in your region from another country. However, recently an anime company in Japan did send a CaD letter to fansubbers of several series.

This is true. Wink

It's not as grey as Spanky make it out to be. You are infringing on the original copyright holder's rights in that instance unless you're purchasing and importing the physical media.

It's not a grey area at all.

Read up on the Berne Convention.
http://www.law.cornell.edu/treaties/berne/overview.html

Copyright infringement is illegal in any country that is part of the Berne Convention.

All "unlicensed" means is "lazy Japanese production company doesn't want to release their product in America and is waiting for American company to pay a lot of money AND do all the work for them".
