Why this status applies

The film 'Good Will Humping' is a US production released in 2007, which is well after the Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988. Under current US copyright law, works created and published after March 1, 1989, are automatically protected by copyright from the moment of their creation and fixation in a tangible medium. The requirement for a copyright notice or formal registration to secure copyright was abolished for works published after this date. As a 'work for hire' produced by a commercial adult film studio (Kickass Pictures), the copyright duration is 95 years from the date of publication or 120 years from the date of creation, whichever expires first. Therefore, the film will not enter the public domain in the United States until January 1, 2103. The production company, Kickass Pictures, remains an active entity in the industry, and the film continues to be commercially exploited through various adult media distribution channels, precluding any designation as an orphan work.
