[edit] Public domain explanation
- The image was distributed as a promotional photograph in the U.S. in 1952 for use by the general media, satisfying the definition of "publication." There is no evidence that it was distributed with copyright notice, as then required for copyright protection.
- A search of U.S. copyright renewal records both generally and with a specific focus on 1979 and 1980 reveals that no renewal was filed as would have been required to maintain copyright protection, if any, on any bound collection of material that might encompass this photograph.
- There is no evidence that RKO Pictures LLC, the corporate heir to RKO Radio Pictures, or any asignee of The Filmakers claims copyright on the image.
