[edit] Licensing

Public domain This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published in the United States between 1923 and 1963, but copyright was not renewed with the US Copyright Office within 28 years of the date of publication, which causes the work to irrevocably fall into the public domain. This should apply worldwide. See Copyright.

[edit] Public domain explanation

  • A search of U.S. copyright renewal records for 1976 and 1977 ([1], [2], [3], [4]) reveals no evidence that Excelsior Pictures Corp. or any asignee renewed copyrights to this lobby card or any collection of lobby cards or any collection of material that might encompass this lobby card as would have been required to maintain copyright protection, if any.
  • There is no evidence that Excelsior Pictures Corp. or any asignee claims copyright on the image.

[edit] Fair use for Midnight movie

If any evidence is disclosed to indicate that this image is under copyright, it is claimed by Wikipedia editor DCGeist to be used under fair use as:

  1. it is a low-resolution copy of a movie lobby card;
  2. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the film or lobby card in any way;
  3. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork on another poster or card; and
  4. the image is significant because it supports a discussion of the film and its position as one of the fundamental midnight movies under both the TV and cinematic definitions of the term.
