Why this status applies

The film 'The Georgetown Loop (Colorado)' was produced by the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company and registered for copyright as a paper print in 1903 (registration number H32691). Under the United States copyright law, all works published or registered before January 1, 1929, have entered the public domain regardless of renewal status. As this film was registered and released in 1903, its copyright protection expired long ago. It is currently held in the Library of Congress Paper Print Collection and is widely recognized as a public domain work. The 95-year maximum term for works of this era has lapsed, making it free for use without restriction.
