Nexora Public Domain

What Nexora includes

Public domain worldwide: every creator we could identify (director, writer, author of the source work, composer, cinematographer where known) died more than 70 years ago, so the film is out of copyright in countries that protect works for the author's life plus 70 years as well as in the United States; and the copy listed has no soundtrack, because music added to a film later can have its own rights.
Creative Commons Attribution: films whose makers released them under a CC BY licence (the version is given per film), credited as they ask. Only the film files are linked; music the makers distribute separately under other terms is not used.

The Internet Archive uploader's licence tag is shown only as a hint; it is not what Nexora relies on. Evidence reviewed 2026-10-04 (Nexora HOSTING lane (agent); review by the owner and a lawyer pending). To report a problem with a film, see Report an add-on.
