Mabel's Wilful Way

Under the current copyright laws of the United States, specifically the 1998 Copyright Term Extension Act, all works published or registered before January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain. This film, starring Mabel Normand and Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle, was released on May 1, 1915 by the Keystone Film Company and distributed via the Mutual Film Corporation. Because the film was published more than 95 years ago and falls well before the 1928 cutoff, its copyright has expired regardless of whether it was ever registered or renewed. The work is now free to use, distribute, and modify without permission from the original creators or their successors. There is no evidence of recent copyright claims or restorations that would affect its status as a historical public domain work.
