A unique category is fan-made restorations. Users take public domain or lower-quality prints and use AI upscaling (e.g., Topaz Video Enhance AI) or manual frame-by-frame cleaning to produce “4K” or “remastered” versions. These are derivative works. While the underlying short may be public domain, the restoration may contain new creative expression (color correction, noise reduction), potentially generating a new, thinner layer of copyright. Nonetheless, these uploads are popular for their improved viewing experience. Search for these specific titles on the "Movies"

The Internet Archive (archive.org), founded by Brewster Kahle in 1996, positions itself as a digital library with the mission of providing “universal access to all knowledge.” For Tom and Jerry , the IA functions as an unofficial, crowdsourced, and globally accessible archive. This paper argues that the Internet Archive’s collection of Tom and Jerry material serves three overlapping functions: (1) a for at-risk public domain and orphaned content, (2) a legal battlefield reflecting contested interpretations of copyright law, and (3) a cultural commons where fans, restorers, and scholars engage with the series outside commercial constraints.

Warner Bros. Entertainment has a standing practice of sending DMCA takedown notices for Tom and Jerry material on the IA. However, the process is whack-a-mole: as one upload is removed, another appears. Moreover, the IA’s policy is to honor takedowns but not to proactively police content (per Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act). This creates a legal gray zone where the IA is neither a pirate site (it responds to notices) nor a fully licensed distributor.
