Is it actually copyright free? How can such a large library of downloadable content come without any issues? Do they contact all the owners of the footage/work and they release it to them? Am I able to then use any of it in my own projects?

I used to work there a lifetime ago and it was actually my job to respond to takedown requests. There’s this thing called ‘robots.txt’ that allows websites to tell others (search engines and such) what content should be off limits. For example, in the robots.txt file you would have a line that says “disallow /cgi” and the search engines would skip over the stuff in the /cgi directory. And, yes, to the others that mention DMCA takedown requests, yes the archive honors those, but that is a last resort.
