Hi Rich:
 
Yes, I think the loop hole in "It's A Wonderful Life" had to do with music  
issues. This some way is how they got this title's it's copyright back. 
 
Earle Hagen's score or title song for the "Andy Griffith Show" is indeed  
under copyright so the off brand dvd's have alternate music because of the  
Hagen 
estate and clearance issues.
 
I remember a TV "Laugh In" reunion show year's back and they had to  alter 
the video by blanking out some of the people in the background shots. They  
apparently could NOT get clearance from these people or families of these  
people. 
 
Best, Tom Pennock
