Why this status applies

This film, a two-reel drama directed by George Terwilliger for the Lubin Manufacturing Company, was released in September 1914. This falls within the ±2 year window of the user's 1915 estimate. Under current US copyright law, every work published before January 1, 1929, has entered the public domain. Because this film was published and copyrighted (registration number LP3396) in 1914, its maximum possible copyright term has expired. Any renewals that might have occurred are irrelevant for works of this age, as they have all reached their statutory limit.
