Get Out and Get Under

Under the current copyright laws of the United States, all works published or registered before January 1, 1929, have entered the public domain. 'Get Out and Get Under', a short comedy starring Harold Lloyd, was released on September 26, 1920, which places it well before the 1929 cutoff. Because the film was released in 1920, its maximum possible copyright term (which would have been 95 years if it had been properly renewed under the 1909 and 1976 Acts) expired at the end of 2015. However, this is moot as the blanket expiration for all pre-1929 works applies. No further search of renewal records is necessary to confirm its status as public domain.
