True Heart Susie

True Heart Susie was directed by D.W. Griffith and released in the United States on June 1, 1919. Under U.S. copyright law, all works published before January 1, 1929, have entered the public domain regardless of whether they were originally registered or renewed. The maximum possible term for a work published in 1919 was 95 years (expiring in 2014), but as it predates the current 1928 cutoff for protection, its status is definitively public domain. The film was originally registered for copyright by D.W. Griffith on June 6, 1919 (LP13801). Even if the copyright had been properly renewed in its 28th year (1946-1947), the copyright would have expired no later than 75 years after publication under the 1976 Act, or 95 years under the 1998 Term Extension Act. Because it was published before 1929, it is now part of the public domain in the United States. Note: generated without live web grounding (the grounded research engine was unavailable).
