The Zebra Force

Under the 1909 Copyright Act as amended, US films released between 1964 and 1977 were granted automatic renewal for a total term of 95 years, provided they were published with a valid copyright notice. 'The Zebra Force' was released in 1976 and features a valid copyright notice on its theatrical and home video prints ('Copyright 1976 Zebra Group'). While the US Copyright Office online database (which covers 1978 onward) does not show a retroactive registration for this title, the film's continuous commercial availability through legitimate distributors like Kino Lorber, who licensed the title for a 2017 high-definition restoration, strongly indicates that the chain of title is intact and the rights are actively managed. No evidence suggests the film has fallen into the public domain through abandonment or notice failure.
