A Man Could Get Killed

A Man Could Get Killed (1966) is currently protected by copyright in the United States. Under the Copyright Renewal Act of 1992, works published or registered between January 1, 1964, and December 31, 1977, were granted an automatic renewal of their copyright term. This effectively eliminated the requirement to file a formal renewal application with the Copyright Office during the 28th year of the first term to maintain protection. The film was registered with the U.S. Copyright Office by Universal Pictures (then Universal City Studios, Inc.) on March 25, 1966, under registration number LP32535. Because the film was released in 1966, it fell into the automatic renewal window and is protected for a total term of 95 years from the date of publication. Therefore, its copyright is not set to expire until January 1, 2062. The film continues to be actively commercialized and licensed by NBCUniversal.
