The Light on Lookout Mountain

The film 'The Light on Lookout Mountain' was released in 1924 as part of Nell Shipman's independent productions filmed in Idaho. As a motion picture published before January 1, 1928, it has entered the public domain in the United States by operation of law. Under the Copyright Term Extension Act (CTEA), all works published prior to 1928 have seen their maximum copyright term expire. Specifically, for films from this era, the 95-year maximum term for works with corporate authorship or published under the 1909 Act has lapsed. Regardless of whether a renewal was filed or if the original production company exists, the work is legally free of copyright restrictions in the U.S.
