Kodi is legal.
Watching copyright content via dodgy apps is not.
Apparently it can be..
For films, life + 70 years for the last to die of: principal director, author of screenplay, author of dialogue, or composer of music specifically created for and used in the film
BUT
If it is based on release date..
50 years from end of calendar year when the broadcast was first made (broadcasts)
But I can't tell which approach would apply to any particular film- broadcast or age of the principals. And for a cinema film is the first broadcast considered to be the premiere showing anywhere in the world?
I found some lists of public domain films but those lists appear to be based on USA law which doesn't apply here - and many of them appear to be because of a failure to renew Copyright.
So presumably copyright can be renewed, at least in the US, which may well render the broadcast date pretty worthless.
So - fuck knows.

It appears than any film released before 1923 in the USA is out of copyright - in the USA.
Does that apply here too?
Fuck knows.
Although I suspect that if it is a US production from that long ago they are not going to be chasing anyone anywhere else for watching it.

I presume that's the legal equivalent of us techies saying, "Dunno...have you tried turning it off and on again?"...?
Bear in mind these only become watchable in digital form because someone sat, scanned and restored them, sometimes painstakingly over a long period. That person/people would require payment.
There is a great selection of classic films on BFI Player Plus, for a measly £4.99 per month. So for a pint of beer you could fill most of your spare time.
I like old films too - but I'm happy to buy used DVDs on Amazon for pennies. Some mental bargains on there sometimes.
I got Series 1 of CSI (I never saw the first series) for a whopping.... 54 pence!

If you ask for an app that allows very old public domain movies to be watched but the app also allows copyrighted content to be watched then the problem remains.

It's a shame that the "That's Entertainment" chain had it's time then faded away, they had incredible bargains, I bought Tommy Lee Jones disaster classic Volcano in there for about a quid.
