Edge of Fury

Under the 1909 Copyright Act, works published between 1928 and 1963 required a renewal filing in the 28th year to maintain protection. 'Edge of Fury' was registered for copyright by United Artists Corp. on May 1, 1958, under registration number LP11299. To remain protected, the copyright needed to be renewed in 1985 or 1986. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database, the Library of Congress Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE), and the US Copyright Office online database shows no renewal record for this title or registration number. Because the renewal was not filed, the work entered the public domain in the United States upon the expiration of its first 28-year term on December 31, 1986. This status is corroborated by the film's presence in several public domain film catalogs and its availability on platforms specializing in copyright-expired content without challenge from United Artists or successors like MGM.
