Why doesn’t every streaming service have public domain movies?

235 viewsEconomicsOther

Since there wouldn’t be any cost associated with getting rights for streaming, why can’t I boot up Nosferatu on whatever platform I happen to be on? To me it seems like the cheapest, easiest thing to do to upload a collection of the most famous public domain movies as a matter of course when setting up a streamer. Is there a specific reason why it mostly isn’t done?

How does hosting something everyone can already get for free make them money? It doesn’t so they don’t. Hosting a stream isn’t free
