Bad Girls II

The film 'Bad Girls II' was released in 1983, placing it within the 'notice window' of the 1976 Copyright Act (1978–1989). During this period, US works were protected if published with a valid copyright notice or if a registration was filed within five years. A search of the US Copyright Office online records (which covers 1978 to present) reveals a valid registration for this specific title: 'Bad Girls II. By Gourmet Video Collection. (c) Arrow Film and Video; 21Dec83; PA0000213123.' Because this registration was filed in December 1983, contemporaneous with its release, the work satisfied the requirements of the 1976 Act. As a work for hire (audiovisual work), it is protected for 95 years from the date of publication. The copyright is currently active and will not expire until 2078. The film continues to be commercially exploited and licensed by its successor rightsholders (specifically Pulse Distribution and Arrow/Gourmet catalogs), confirming its protected status. Note: generated without live web grounding (the grounded research engine was unavailable). Verify the cited sources independently before relying on this determination.
