Army Brat

The film 'Army Brat' (also known as 'Army Brat 2' in certain markets or sequels) was released in 1989. Under the Berne Convention Implementation Act, which took effect in the United States on March 1, 1989, the requirement to place a copyright notice on a work to secure copyright protection was abolished. Any work created or published on or after this date is automatically protected by copyright from the moment of its creation. Even if the film was published shortly before the March 1 deadline (during the 'notice window' of 1978–1989), it would remain protected if a registration was filed within five years or if a notice was present. Given the 1989 release date, the film falls squarely into the era of automatic protection (life of the author + 70 years, or 95 years from publication for works for hire). No evidence of a public domain dedication or failure to comply with the 1976 Act's notice-cure provisions was found that would invalidate its status.
