Chang: A Drama of the Wilderness

Under the current copyright laws of the United States, all works published before January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain. 'Chang: A Drama of the Wilderness' was produced by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack and released by Paramount Famous Lasky Corp. on April 29, 1927. Because the film's publication date is 1927, its statutory copyright term expired 95 years after publication, on January 1, 2023. Even if the film was properly registered (LP23930, April 19, 1927) and renewed (R143128, January 17, 1955), the maximum possible term for works of this era has now elapsed. The film is definitively in the public domain in the United States and is widely available from archival sources such as the Internet Archive and Milestone Film & Video.
