F.A.Q
What is Cinetimes?
Cinetimes is a free library that brings together movies, cartoons, and TV shows from across the web. We carefully curate content from trusted sources and YouTube channels that have declared proper licensing for their content.
How Many Movies Are Available on Cinetimes?
The number of movies on Cinetimes fluctuates regularly. Currently, we feature approximately 2,000 titles.
How Do You Handle Public Domain Content?
We utilize Wikipedia's public API to maintain accurate, up-to-date information about public domain works. Our system:
- Synchronizes with Wikipedia's database every two hours
- Verifies public domain status for different countries
- Implements appropriate geo-blocking based on regional rights
- Displays content through secure iframes
- Updates movie statuses within 2 hours of any Wikipedia changes
- Completes full website updates within 24 hours (accounting for server and browser caching)
This ensures that you always have access to legitimate public domain content that's properly licensed for your region.
How Do You Select Content Sources?
We maintain strict criteria for our content sources. We only synchronize with YouTube channels and platforms that:
- Explicitly declare they have proper rights to the content
- Have a history of legitimate content distribution
- Maintain clear licensing information
Some examples of our trusted sources include: - PizzaFLIX on YouTube - Specializing in worldwide commercial streaming rights - Arte.tv - A respected public service platform for cultural content - imineo on YouTube - Offering diverse, properly licensed films
We actively monitor our content sources and maintain a three-strike policy - if we receive three credible copyright complaints about a channel or uploader, we immediately unsync the entire channel and remove all associated content from Cinetimes.
Can I Contribute Films From My Personal Collection to Cinetimes?
While we appreciate your interest in contributing, we can only integrate content through authorized channels. The process works as follows:
- Rights holders or authorized entities upload content to verified platforms (like YouTube)
- Cinetimes synchronizes with these verified channels
- The content becomes available through our platform
This ensures all content meets our strict quality and licensing standards.
