Why this status applies

The film 'A Few Quick Facts: Fear' was produced in 1945 as part of a series of educational/informational shorts by the United States Army Signal Corps for the 'Army-Navy Screen Magazine.' Under 17 U.S.C. § 105, copyright protection is not available for any work of the United States Government. This means that works created by officers or employees of the U.S. government as part of their official duties are in the public domain from the moment of their creation. Because this film is a product of the U.S. federal government (specifically the Department of War/Department of the Army), it entered the public domain immediately upon release. No copyright registration or renewal was ever possible or required for this work. This status is consistent across all films produced by the U.S. Army Signal Corps during World War II.
