I wasn't referring to the original video, but to others that I had found by searching on Blackadder73 (the name that appears at the end of the original video - presumably as the 'author' - ie who had compiled the video clips and added the music).
I warned that, just as we have to respect the copyright of photographs that we might like to add to this site, music as part of a video may also be subject to copyright. It was pure chance that, having searched on the name of the compiler, several of the 'hits' had been stripped of the music by YouTube.
I do feel that silent movies are disappointing (though sometimes the music can be distracting). Truck sounds would be preferable, but only if they were original, not 'canned'.
I don't express any opinion about whether members should (or should not) breach copyright, I was merely pointing out 'the law'.
In a previous environment I worked with digital mapping images, and the Ordnance Survey were
very strict about anything that they considered might have been derived from their sources. Even though OS are (or were) a Government entity, the populace are not allowed unfettered access to their work.
And I touched on the Performing Rights Society who will hunt down any shopkeeper that streams radio playing music for the entertainment of their customers (or employees) without first having obtained a licence for so doing - which of course involves royalties to be paid to the musicians.
Oh, and it has always been 'illegal' to tape broadcasts (including the Top Twenty onto a cassette to enjoy in your car). Do you remember cassettes?
By the way, I enjoyed the original video (and that prompted me to seek out more, some of which I have referred to above).
