Cell 2455 Death Row

Under the 1909 Copyright Act, works published between 1928 and 1963 required a renewal filing in the 28th year to extend copyright protection. 'Cell 2455 Death Row' was originally registered for copyright by Columbia Pictures Corp. on April 12, 1955, under registration number LP4595. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress records confirms that Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc., filed a valid renewal (RE-161-591) on March 28, 1983. This renewal extended the film's protection for a second term. Under the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998, this protection lasts for 95 years from the original publication date, meaning the film will not enter the public domain until January 1, 2051.
