Friendly suggestion: Upload them all. I would like to have some of them. If they prove to be not in the public domain, they should be immediately removed from the archive after I have downloaded them.

Well, I don't know about that ;)
Still I'm optimistic that a couple/a few of them will be okay at least.

Many thanks for your work Video Cellar. A couple to upload at least. Again, really shows that you can't bet on stuff that's on PD DVD labels. I will go through Sweet Sounds before uploading to see if anything musical jumps out that could be a problem.
