Stub[edit]

Reason for outbreak in original movie.[edit]

Actually it does say what the reason is in the o.g. movie. It is radiation from a sattelite that has fallen to earth. A guy says it on the t.v. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Djfurguson (talk • contribs) 04:58, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, in the original, that's merely speculation by characters, not proven to be the cause. Romero intended it to be unknown what the actual cause was. Similarly, in Dawn of the Dead, there's speculation that Hell was full. Again, not the actual cause, at least not proven to be so.76.226.200.238 (talk) 19:43, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright[edit]

The article states "Unlike the first remake, no one involved with the original is involved with this version. The original film was never properly copyrighted, and so it has fallen into the public domain, making this remake possible with no permission from the original's creators (the original movie can actually be seen playing on TV in this version)."

However, this seems to contradict Wikipedia's article on copyright term:

"All copyrightable works published in the United States before 1923 are in the public domain;[37] works created before 1978 but not published until recently may be protected until 2047.[38] For works that received their copyright before 1978, a renewal had to be filed in the work's 28th year with the Copyright Office for its term of protection to be extended. The need for renewal was eliminated by the Copyright Renewal Act of 1992, but works that had already entered the public domain by non-renewal did not regain copyright protection. Therefore, works published before 1964 that were not renewed are in the public domain."

The original came out in 1968, so shouldn't it have been covered by the 1992 renewal act, and therefore, grandfathered in? As it was released in 1968, it's copyright wouldn't have expired until 1996, but the 1992 renewal removed the requirement of "manual" renewal.
