Why don't we make [more] use of water wheels?
gnif:
As for the link you sent me, there is 1/2 a page of the document stating it's copyright with explicit terms.
Being published in a public place doesn't negate copyright or make the content public domain.
As for the links to external pages, the bolded huge links are very spammy and were removed because it was, essentially spamming the thread.
Hydro:
I see, thank you.
I didn’t pay attention because these files were in the public domain.
Okay, I’ll return it for now, a video about “make [more] use of water wheels.”
It doesn't violate anyone's rights.
And funny :D

No, I don't think they were (and are). "They are in the public domain" is not the same has "they have been published".
When "publishing", the author or a publishing house makes works available for access, but still retains the copyright in them, and often puts restrictions on their use. Re-publishing the works elsewhere, or using them commercially, will often be restricted -- e.g. by requiring written permission from the copyright owner, or by requiring royalty payments.
In contrast, a work is "in the public domain" only when it is not covered by copyright at all, and hence has no use restrictions. This may be the case because the copyright has expired or because the author has explicitly forfeited his rights and put the work in the public domain. Details vary by national legislation and date of the original publication.
Hydro:
We are trying to establish contact with these manufacturers.
It's India

In the Canadian province of Quebec, water wheels generate 40TW :-). Big wheels!
