Barney Oldfield's Race for a Life

Under the current copyright laws of the United States, all works published before January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain. This film, a notable Mack Sennett production featuring race car driver Barney Oldfield and Mabel Normand, was released on June 3, 1913. Because the film was published more than 95 years ago and falls before the 1928 cutoff, its copyright protection has expired by operation of law. No renewal search is necessary for works of this vintage, as they are ineligible for further protection regardless of original registration or renewal status.
