[Tech1] Film Copyright

[Peter Neill]

Hi Dave,

I’ve asked Sarah Cronin-Stanley who runs the Talking Pictures TV channel. She replied:

Hi Peter
The law of “public domain” or out of copyright doesn’t really exist in the U.K., if you tell me what the film is Noel will know where the rightsholders are.
Best wishes
Sarah

So let me know and we’ll find out. 

Peter
