Alice in Acidland

Alice in Acidland (1969) is a US exploitation/educational film. For films released between 1964 and 1977, US copyright is technically automatic for 95 years; however, this is dependent on the film having been published with a valid copyright notice. Research into the Library of Congress Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE) and the online Copyright Office database shows no record of a copyright registration or a renewal for this title under Empire Films or its associated distributors. Furthermore, the film is widely recognized in the film preservation and collector community as being in the public domain due to the lack of copyright notice on the original theatrical release prints. It has been frequently released by 'gray market' and public domain specialist distributors such as Something Weird Video, Alpha Video, and is hosted on the Internet Archive without restriction or challenge from a rightsholder. Because there is no record of registration and it has been commercially treated as public domain for decades without legal challenge, it is classified as public domain.
