Why this status applies

Under the Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988, which took effect in the United States on March 1, 1989, the requirement for a copyright notice to secure protection was abolished. 'Hot Bodies in Bondage' was released in 1993, well after this transition. As a work created after 1989, it is automatically protected by US copyright law from the moment of its creation. The duration of copyright for a work for hire (typical of studio productions) is 95 years from the date of publication or 120 years from the date of creation, whichever expires first. Note: generated without live web grounding (the grounded research engine was unavailable). Verify the cited sources independently before relying on this determination.
