I did download an Ubuntu ISO from there more than a decade ago, and some films that I presume were in the public domain due to their age.

Interestingly, copyright for video is very complicated, and the remastering process necessary to convert from film stock to digital generally has enough creative input legally to be considered valid for copyright protection. I don't think it's currently possible for a digital film to be aged out of copyright.

Well, my drug dealer also sold me a watch once. But 99% he had crack for sale.
