Summary

Description

Date
Source
English: Scan via Pinterest. Possibly a Library of Congress scan, but original source is unknown. Cropped from the original and retouched to remove signs of damage (like folds) and to correct color. Unretouched original in the upload history below.
Author
English: Poster published and distributed by Island Alive in association with New Cinema.
Permission
(Reusing this file)
English: The poster omitted a copyright notice and was published in the United States in 1982 (i.e., between 1978 and 1989) and was not subsequently registered with the U.S. Copyright Office within five years of publication; see the searchable Copyright Catalog (1978 to present). As such, the opportunity for copyright protection expired in 1988 and the poster entered the public domain.

Additional notes:

  • The poster art is a distinct work from the film it represents and had to carry its own notice and/or be registered as its own separate work to establish copyright protection. The film Koyaanisqatsi remains copyrighted.
  • The pre-1989 requirements for copyright notice were highly formalistic and, other than a few enumerated exceptions, required these three elements:
  1. "The symbol © or the word 'Copyright' or the abbreviation 'Copr.' or an acceptable variant such as "(c)";
  2. "The year of first publication for the work"; and
  3. "The name of the copyright owner, or an abbreviation by which the name can be recognized, or a generally known alternative designation of the owner."

Licensing

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1978 and March 1, 1989 without a copyright notice, and its copyright was not subsequently registered with the U.S. Copyright Office within 5 years.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
