The USA Copyright law before 1978 provided for an initial Copyright period of
28 years from the date of publication (with Copyright Notice attached) or registration whichever occurred first.
Before the end of the 28th year it was necessary to obtain Renewal Registration,
otherwise the film went into the Public Domain.
Unfortunately Cinerama Inc. did not renew the Copyright on most of its productions from the fifties.
John, where did you obtain this information that CINERAMA INC. still owned the
Copyright to the majority of its Cinerama films?

Grandeur 70 has asked that the undersigned, who he alleges has made erroneous statements as to the copyright of the "Windjammer" DVD copies that he is selling on eBay and elsewhere, apologise on IMDB. Acting on the advise of my Solicitor I regret to inform him that until such time as I receive her advise on the matter of copyright in the Commonwealth of Australia I will not be in a position to comment further.

No need for these depressing dupes anymore, I guess, thanks to the actual work done to put them on Blu-ray and DVD by Strohmaier and the folks at Flicker Alley. It's good that someone took the initiative to get these films as close to their original condition as budget and manpower would allow, rather than simply profiting from their public domain status. Still, for a time, these versions were as good as it got for anyone desperate to see the films, so at least the gap was filled.
