Faithful

Under the current laws of the United States, all works published or registered for copyright before January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain. This film, directed by D.W. Griffith for the Biograph Company (also known as the American Mutosius and Biograph Co.), was released on March 21, 1910. Because the film was published more than 95 years ago (in this case, 114 years ago), its statutory copyright protection has expired. There is no requirement to check for renewal records or notice compliance for works from this era, as the 1998 Copyright Term Extension Act (Sonny Bono Act) only extended protection for works that were still under copyright at the time; it did not revive copyrights that had already expired, and the absolute cutoff for protection is currently the end of 1927.
