DescriptionPlease, Don't Bury Me Alive! (1976 film poster).jpg
English: Poster for the 1976 American film Please, Don't Bury Me Alive!. Directed by Efraín Gutiérrez and distributed independently, the film features dialogue in both English and Spanish and is considered the first Chicano film.
Español: Cartel de la película independiente de 1976, Por Favor, No Me Entierren Vivo!, dirigida por Efraín Gutiérrez. La película tiene diálogo en inglés y español y se considera la primera película chicana.
English: The poster omitted a copyright notice—or, more specifically, carried a defective notice—and was published in the United States prior to 1978, and as such entered the public domain upon publication. The poster art is a distinct work from the film it represents and had to carry its own separate notice to establish copyright protection. The pre-1989 requirements for copyright notice were highly formalistic and, other than a few enumerated exceptions, required these three elements:
"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."
The signature "Chista '76" near the bottom right corner omits the word "Copyright" or any acceptable substitute, and as such was a defective notice.

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domainPublic domainfalsefalse
This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1977, inclusive, with a defective copyright notice (copyright notice information) containing at least one of the following defects:
Notice is dated more than one year later than the actual date of first publication;
Notice does not include a named claimant or does not name the actual copyright holder;
Notice is illegible or concealed from view;
It is a printed literary, musical, or dramatic work that does not include the year.
A defective notice does not invalidate copyright in cases where the error is immaterial and would not mislead an infringer, such as an abbreviated name. Additionally, foreign works created outside the US are subject to copyright restoration even with a defective notice. It is not in the public domain in the countries or areas that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works, such as Canada, mainland China (not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany, Mexico, Switzerland, and other countries with individual treaties.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain". This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
