I've just edited together another soundtrack from modern creative commons tracks for an old silent film, this time for a cult surreal short. You can watch it on PeerTube at:
The Fall of the House of Usher (1928)
https://fedi.video/w/kjjkKYs1k8jZunu8sWtScM
You can also check out my previous modern soundtrack edits for silent films:
Wings (1927)
https://fedi.video/w/mnxJLqxaS9yejUAnZPNYcH
The Phantom of the Opera (1925)
https://fedi.video/w/xAuNMvv5h2qVqtLn5b38Vj
My personal favourite of these is "Wings", especially once you get to the main part of the story.

Didn't know Chesterton (Father Brown) had a novel set in the future (more alternative reality?), but @gutenberg_org has it here

@goblingua I don't actually want give up _all_ rights to my works - I just want to make them more accessible and available.
Basically, my books have two parts - the actual translations of German folk tales, which I am releasing under a Creative Commons Zero license ("releasing something into the public domain" is not possible as such under German law), and my added notes and commentary, for which I retain full rights.
Thus, I am looking for an #OpenAccess model rather than #PublicDomain . However, if anyone wants to use the translations themselves in their own projects, they are free to do so - and quite a few people have done so already:

Gizmodo: Screamboat‘s Director Breaks Down the Ins and Outs of Public Domain Horror. “Winnie the Pooh. Popeye. Steamboat Willie. These days, it seems the instant a recognizable character becomes public domain, someone immediately turns them into a horror movie. Why is that, and what is it like behind the scenes? To get those answers, io9 spoke with Steven LaMorte. He’s the co-writer and […]

Gestern, heute und morgen sind übrigens drei Tage, an denen die #PeliCorn #Myraner" Wettach-Haag-Sporr in dieser Reihenfolge ein Jahr älter werden sollten. Älter werden aber nur die beiden Älteren - morgen ist mir Jürgen wieder ein Jahr voraus - während der Jüngste, der heute Geburtstag hätte, schon vor Jahren aufgehört hat zu altern, weil er getötet wurde. Ein Anlass also, über Sterblichkeit nachzudenken, mit einem Musikvideo, an dem alles #PublicDomain ist

I don't see any reason to poison the well for the bots in this specific case. OurAirports.com is #publicDomain #openData, and everyone (even AI) is welcome to use it. I just want to make sure they don't slow it down for human users.
hey made this for #publicdomain! https://freesvg.org/cripplepunk-accessible-icon
will make a rainbow one later!
