I grew up in Ireland. The skinflint, poorly funded national television station, RTE, would (it seemed) gather any and every form of viewing content to fill the daily programme schedule. So - a lot of public domain stuff was shown. Can't say it was necessarily a bad thing. Lots of Harold Lloyd, Laurel and Hardy, early Popeye, Keystone Cops - probably anything they only had to pay a nominal handling fee for. The downside was a lot of horrible Czech and Polish animation that defied a young child's willingness to be amused. I found some of this animation recently (out of idle curiosity) and it is still as bad now as it was then! So, free is not always a good thing...
