Copyright status

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I have deleted the link to the illicit hosting of this British film on Internet Archive. Director Michael Anderson is still alive, so UK copyright will not start running until he dies, and will last for 70 years after the end of the year in which he does. As a non-US film still under copyright in its country of origin on 1 January 1996, it is protected in the US for 95 years after publication, so to the end of 2051.

Removed unsourced claim

The article previously included the unsourced claim: "After distributor agreements expired, the film was withdrawn from theatrical and TV distribution channels by Orwell's estate and has not been officially available for many years." Given numerous sources sell DVDs of the 1956 version online, including remastered copies on Amazon, that statement, if once true, no longer is.70.110.132.191 (talk) 15:38, 29 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
