What about the 1960s version of Astroboy, Gigantor,
the 8th man, and Speedracer? A lot of people are distributing these shows themselves and making a profit.
All produced under license by American companies. _________________ "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."- C.S. Lewis

Those superman cartoons should actually be older then 45 if I remember right.
But the big thing is its more then age. There are a lot of warner brothers and disney animations that are older then 60 years old that are not public domain. And concerning the anime you seemed to have missed a big point. Which is that Gigantor et all are Japanese. Public Domain for the US only concerns content created by US companies.
The rights to the Fleischer/Famous Studios cartoon library are complicated. With the exception of the Superman and Popeye cartoons, Paramount's cartoon library was originally sold to a company called U M & M Corp. (which later became National Telefilm Associates [NTA] and Republic Pictures). U M & M (as well as its NTA successor) altered the original negatives to a majority of the cartoons and modified their original front-and-end credit sequences, either blocking out all references to Paramount or created new but cheaply done credits. True animated historians and fans should know this was not the way these classic cartoons were originally intended to be seen.
The 1950-1962 cartoons were sold to Harvey Comics in 1962 (today they are owned by Classic Media). The copyright for the Fleischers' cartoons was not renewed by Famous or Paramount, and as a result the majority of the Fleischers' cartoons entered the public domain. This included the Color Classics series, the Superman series, and the two full-length feature films.
