| 18 | +CLIP-indexed shot search over FedFlix films on the Internet Archive. About 41,000 MP4 clips, no account, no watermark. Each shot links to the source film on archive.org and, when available, its NARA catalog record. Built for finding a 3-second archival shot without downloading a multi-gigabyte reel. Useful for FMV, cutscenes, in-world screens, and historical B-roll. Destockd does not certify per-clip rights. |

| 20 | +## Notes |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +- Binding grant is [Legal](https://www.destockd.com/#/legal), not the homepage tagline. Destockd believes hosted footage is public domain in the United States or otherwise unrestricted, based on FedFlix / government-production origin. It has not independently cleared every film, clip, or embedded element. |
| 23 | +- FAQ: review source records before commercial use. Archival films can contain third-party footage, music, trademarks, and identifiable people. Destockd provides no model, property, publicity, or performance releases. |
| 24 | +- Destockd does not require attribution. A specific film or archive record might. |
| 25 | +- Typical case is 17 U.S.C. § 105 (U.S. government works). NARA still says it does not confirm copyright status for any item. Check the per-shot "Rights Source" line and the linked IA / NARA records. |
| 26 | +- Shot downloads are MP4 from `clips.destockd.com`. Full films stay on archive.org. |
| 27 | +- Unedited historical material: war, disaster, WWII atrocity footage. Filter "disturbing" shots on Random if you do not want that in a browse pass. |
| 28 | +- Independent project by Elroddd. Not affiliated with the Internet Archive, FedFlix, NARA, or the U.S. government. |
| 29 | +- Stays `needs-review`: aggregator, per-clip verify required, games not named. Public-domain copyright is usually enough to ship inside a game, but that is not a blanket Destockd warranty. |
