Bloodtide is registered as copyright to Cannon Entertainment, Inc. & Credit Lyonnais Bank Nederland, N.V., as seen in the United States Copyright Office database, it is not in the public domain. Search on "Bloodtide" in the United States Copyright Office database. Last accessed December 29, 2011. This notice is required as previous editors mistakenly wrote the film is in the Public Domain, which is not borne out by US Government records. Some may claim that it may lack a copyright notice, and is therefore in the public domain, but that rule only applies for works published before 1978. See Copyright Term and the Public Domain in the United States, Cornell University. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 03:45, 30 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

I have deleted the link to the illicit hosting of this British film on Internet Archive. Co-writer Nico Mastorakis, director and co-writer Richard Jefferies, and composer Shuki Levy are all still alive, so UK copyright will not start running until all of them have died, and will last for 70 years after the end of the year in which the last of them died. As a non-US film still under copyright in its country of origin on 1 January 1996, it is protected in the US for 95 years after publication, so to the end of 2077.
