[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 1962 and 1963 ([1], [2], [3], [4]) reveals no evidence that the corporate heir to the corporate author of the work--Republic Pictures--renewed copyrights to this poster or any collection of posters or any collection of material that might encompass this poster as would have been required to maintain copyright protection, if any.
  • There is no evidence that Republic Pictures claims or has ever claimed copyright on the image.

[edit] Fair use for B movies (Hollywood Golden Age)

If any evidence is disclosed to indicate that this image might be 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 poster;
  2. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the film or poster in any way;
  3. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork on another poster; and
  4. the image is significant because it illustrates (a) a representative B melodrama of the 1930s, (b) a representative studio dedicated to the making of such films, and (c) the marketing of such movies during the historical period being discussed.
