Master of His Public Domain

I admit it, I'm a sucker for old movies & TV shows (for those under 30, this was BEFORE reality TV destoyed the genre).

Tragically, a lot of early TV was lost when the recordings were either thrown away or recorded over to save money.

Fortunately a few things survived and have been archived on the net.

While today, most films and TV shows are protected by copyright, many earlier ones have lapsed into the public domain.

To that end, my twin brother Mike (who also writes the Avian Flu Diary Blog) has begun to blog about the wonderful treasures that are available for free downloading.

THe website is http://masterofmypublicdomain.blogspot.com

More than just a listing of available files, Mike brings you the backstory in a very readable, entertaining format. You see stars before they "made it" and revisit a lot of fond memories.

So, go take a look ... but be prepared to upgrade your hard drive once you see what gems are available!
