Why this status applies
The Wrong Track, a short film produced by Fox Film Corp and directed by Scott Dunlap, was released in February 1920. According to the United States copyright law, all works published or registered in the US before January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain regardless of renewal or notice status. This film falls well within that window. Additionally, this title is listed in the AFI Catalog of Feature Films and contemporary trade publications (such as Wid's Daily) as a 1920 production. Because it was published 104 years ago, its copyright protection has expired by operation of law.
