George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead has entered the public domain, which means anyone who likes can digitize the whole thing and stick it up online for you (yes you) to download.

And I’m not about to spoil a set-up like that by skipping the punchline.

No bittorrent yet.

Two questions--how can a 1968 movie have entered the public domain? Doesn't copyright extend much longer than that?

And: what's the punchline? It said I needed an ID.

35 years is the baseline. It can be extended thanks to Sonny Bozo and the Evil Mouse Empire.

Ah, I didn't realize that extension wasn't automatic.

Weird. This works.
