Why this status applies
Under the 1976 Copyright Act, works created or published between January 1, 1978, and February 28, 1989 (the 'notice window') required a valid copyright notice on the distributed copies or a registration within five years of publication to maintain protection. This film, a 1984 adult feature directed by Henri Pachard, contains a formal copyright notice in its opening credits (© 1984 International Home Video).
Because the work was published with notice, it secured protection for a term of 95 years from publication. Unlike films from the pre-1964 era, works from 1984 do not require a 28th-year renewal. A search of the US Copyright Office online database (CoCatalog) confirms ongoing copyright interest for related titles from this production stable, and the presence of the notice on the primary material satisfies the statutory requirements for protection through 2079.
