There are a few inaccuracies in Rich's post.
Steamboat Willie was NEVER public domain.
Frankenstein & Dracula did not pass into the public domain in 1987 either.
The small publisher case he is trying to remember is Eldred v. Ashcroft (537
U.S. 186, appeal denied 538 U.S. 916).
In 1909, the renewal
Hi Rich:
Yes, I think the loop hole in "It's A Wonderful Life" had to do with music
issues. This some way is how they got this title's it's copyright back.
Earle Hagen's score or title song for the "Andy Griffith Show" is indeed
under copyright so the off brand dvd's have alternate music b
actually Tom I think how they got IAWL back under copyright was to be

Public domain means the film's copyright was not renewed. This means it is
copyright free to anyone to put out. Either film prints like dupes or video
releases. Once the copyright is lost it can't be renewed. There are loop holes

I've got a DVD of this and it's piss poor (to be honest) visually.

"The Stranger" is definitely PD. Just looking around the 'net I found an
interesting site that compares various DVD releases of the movie, including

I would not be surprised if this title is in the public domain. It's like
"Charade" in public domain. There are good prints like on the Criterion DVD

Isn't "The Stranger" a public domain title?
I've never seen a good copy of it either.
