Get Movies, Music and Cartoons For
Free, Then Re-Package Them For
Maximum Profit
Have you subscribed to my RSS feed yet?. Thanks for visiting!
If you’ve read through my newsletter archives, you will have heard me talk about making money from material that is in the public domain.
I want you to go and have a look at what’s available on this website:
Now, you’ve probably already seen lots of info on public domain books and the like. However, on the archive site above you can get hold of stuff like feature films, music and even things like superman and popeye cartoons.
You will find that much of this is in the public domain and free to use for commercial use. Which basically means you can repackage it and sell it for profit!
A Word Of Caution: Not everything on this site is allowed to be used for commercial use. You should check the terms for each item, and or check with the contributer before you start selling anything.
How Can You Make Money From This Stuff?
There are lots of different ways, but one great way would be to create packages of related products and burn them onto a CD. Maybe add your own review of each film, cartoon or music clip, and you’ve just created your own unique product.
You could sell these CD’s from your own website or even on auction sites like eBay. If you initially burn the CD’s to order, it would be a very low cost venture to start up.
Another option…
Write a sales letter for each CD, and then sell the resell rights for the CD’s for other people to sell.
Have a good look around the archive.org website, I’m sure your creative juices will start flowing with excitement.
Tip: There are loads of ‘open source’ music files available. Audio is being used more and more on the web, for intro’s to personal audio messages and on-screen videos etc. There are websites ’selling’ royalty free music to these website owners, and making a real killing. Want in on the action?

Incidentally they're being sued:

The reason nothing much has happened to them is because they've generally accomodated requests to remove contents of their respective owners.
BTW, great blog! I'll definitely look forward to your future posts. :)

That was an interesting link Dave.
Personally, I think it's a good thing to have a backdated snapshot of the web. In other lawsuits, there could be copyright disputes over when something was first published.
For example, there could be some trademark dispute, where a company could prove that they had been using a particular image, logo or phrase for many years before a trademark was filed by a different company.
By quoting a link to the Independent Internet archive, they could prove their statement was true, because anyone could go back a number of years and see how long they had been using it. I'm no lawyer, but I'm sure it would help their case.
Perhaps that's why the lawsuit was filed against the archive, because someone tried to do just that, and it put someone's nose out of joint.
Here's something else to consider...
Archive.org are being sued because they have kept copies of old web pages on file, for public for viewing.
Here's the thing, you can go to Google, MSN, Yahoo and other search engines, and access a cached copy of all the web pages listed in their search engines.
The cached copy doesn't stay online permanently like with archive.org, but in some cases it can stay online for months, depending on how often the search engines update that particular page in their listings. Even web pages that have been totally removed from the web can still be acessed.
Does this mean they are going to sue all the major search engines as well?
It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.
