• Disney retracts copyright claim on a YouTuber's "Steamboat Willie" video, allowing it to be monetizable and shareable worldwide.

• The claim had previously demonetized the video and restricted its visibility and embedding options.

• This move by Disney may signal its recognition of "Steamboat Willie" being in the public domain.

Since more and more works arrive into public domain, are there aggregate sites/torrents with fresh "releases"?

For digital copies of written works in the public domain, projectgutenberg.org is a good source.
