To answer the question about the copyrights for anyone wanting to know. 

A television show usually has two copyrights. One on the Theme Music and
words. And another on the show itself. On TAGS, some one goofed and 16
episodes of Season Three did not have the copyrights renewed on those
episodes. They are now in what is called public domain. Which means any
yahoo that wants to can put the episodes on Tape or DVD and sell them for
any old price the market will allow. 
However it is illegal for them to use the real TAGS theme song as it is
still protected under its own copyright. So most DVD's you buy from someone
besides Paramount will have their own version of theme music. Any DVD out
there of these episodes with the correct music is in violation of the music
copyright and you know what Barney would say about that. "Nip It! Nip It In
The Bud!"
