The Other Side of Immigration

Under the Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988, which took effect in the United States on March 1, 1989, the requirement for a copyright notice to secure protection was abolished. Works created on or after this date are automatically protected for a term of 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation (as a work for hire). 'The Other Side of Immigration' was released in 2009, placing it squarely within the era of automatic protection. A search of the U.S. Copyright Office online database confirms a registration for the motion picture (PA0001662916) by the claimant and director Roy Germano, filed on December 22, 2009. The film remains under active commercial exploitation through educational distributors and streaming platforms. Note: generated without live web grounding (the grounded research engine was unavailable). Verify the cited sources independently before relying on this determination.
