# Talaan ng mga pelikulang nasa pampublikong dominyo sa Estados Unidos

Karamihan sa mga pelikula ay napapailalim sa copyright, ngunit ang mga nakalista dito ay pinaniniwalaan na nasa public domain sa United States. Nangangahulugan ito na walang gobyerno, samahan, o indibidwal na nagmamay-ari ng anumang copyright sa trabaho, at dahil dito ito ay karaniwang pag-aari. Ang listahang ito ay hindi komprehensibo; ang karamihan sa mga pelikulang pampubliko na domain ay hindi kasama dito sa iba`t ibang mga kadahilanan. Ang mga pelikula sa listahang ito ay maaaring magsama ng mga elemento mula sa iba pang mga gawa na nasa ilalim pa rin ng copyright, kahit na ang pelikula mismo ay wala sa copyright.

## May copyright na mga elemento ng isang pelikula

Walang opisyal na listahan ng mga pelikula (o iba pang mga gawa) sa pampublikong domain. Mahirap matukoy ang katayuan ng pampublikong domain ng isang pelikula dahil maaaring kasama dito ang anuman o lahat ng mga sumusunod na may copyright na elemento:

* Sinematograpiya
* Drama
* Panitikan
* Musika
* Art
* Mga guhit-larawang karakter (hal., Bugs Bunny)
* Mga kathang-isip na tauhan (hal., James Bond)

## Pagdodokumento ng katayuan sa pampublikong domain

Padron:Ref improve section
Kung ang isang pelikula ay lilitaw sa listahan sa ibaba, malaki ang posibilidad na nawala ang ilan o lahat ng proteksyon sa copyright ng Estados Unidos o sa kaso ng mga pelikula ng gobyerno ng Estados Unidos, ay hindi kailanman protektado ng copyright.

Walang iisang pamamaraan para sa pagtukoy kung ang isang pelikula, o mga bahagi nito, ay nasa pampublikong domain. Mayroong maraming mga pamamaraan na maaaring magamit upang idokumento ang katayuan sa pampublikong domain ng isang pelikula. Kabilang dito ang mga sumusunod:

### Kawalan ng pagbabago

Bago ang taong 1988, ang lahat ng pelikula ng pelikula ay inilathala pagkatapos ng 1909 na may paunawa sa copyright kung saan magaganap ang ika-28 taon ng copyright bago ang taong 1988, na kailangang irehistro at bago ang ika-28 taon, ang pagrehistro ay kailangang i-renew, o ang copyright para sa pelikula ay mag-e-expire at papasok ito sa pampublikong domain. Nalalapat ito sa lahat ng mga pelikulang nakarehistro para sa copyright bago ang taong 1960. Ang mga pag-renew ng copyright ay naging opsyonal noong 1988.

### Tukuyin ang pagpaparehistro sa copyright

Ang mga pagrehistro ng copyright ng larawan ng paggalaw bago ang 1978 ay na-publish sa semi-taunang Catalog ng Copyright s. Nag-publish din ang Library of Congress ng pinagsama-sama na Mga Catalog ng Copyright ng mga pagarehistro ng larawan para sa mga yugto

* 1894–1911
* 1912–1939
* 1940–1949
* 1950–1959
* 1960–1969
* 1970–1979
* 1980–1989

### Katayuan sa pag-renew ng copyright

Para sa mga pelikulang nakarehistro sa 1931 - kasama ang 1963, mahalagang malaman ang katayuan sa pag-renew. Ang semi-taunang mga booklet ng Copyright Catalog ay may halos kumpleto (hindi bababa sa 99.99%) na mga listahan ng mga pag-renew para sa mga pelikulang nakarehistro 28 taon na ang nakalilipas. Ang mga buklet na semi-taunang iyon lahat ay hindi naka-print. Gayunpaman, para sa 1931 hanggang 1959, tumutugma ang mga aklat ng Film Superlist sa mga pag-renew ng copyright sa mga naunang pagrehistro. Ang mga pagrerehistro at pag-update ng copyright ay matatagpuan sa

* *Film Superlist: Motion Pictures in the U.S. Public Domain 1894–1939* (Volume 1)
* *Film Superlist: Motion Pictures in the U.S. Public Domain 1940–1949* (Volume 2)
* *Film Superlist: Motion Pictures in the U.S. Public Domain 1950–1959* (Volume 3)

Noong 1992, binago ng Kongreso ang batas sa copyright upang gawing awtomatiko ang pag-renew para sa mga copyright na nakarehistro noong 1964 at mas bago.

## Listahan ng mga pelikula sa pampublikong dominyo sa Estados Unidos

Ang lahat ng mga pelikulang inilabas bago ang 1931, o gawa ng gobyerno ng Estados Unidos, ay nasa pampublikong domain na ngayon sa United States. Ang mga ito ay hindi nakalista dito upang mapanatili ang listahang ito sa isang mapapamahalaang laki. Tingnan ang Category:Films by year para sa mga pre-1931 na pelikula.
