-As part of an [http://www.gasworks.org.uk/international/ international fellowship] at [http://www.makanhouse.net/ Makan] organised by Gasworks we have been researching into Jordanian copyright. Based on the latest English translation of copyright law (which we understand now is quite out-of-date) have come to the conclusion that film productions over 50 years old are now in the public domain in Jordan. Following this we have gathered a list of pre-1957 Arabic films and are hoping to remix their soundtracks to produce a new copyleft licensed CD.
