This copy is an obvious bootleg which is probably why Amazon no longer sells it. I have a friend at WB and asked him what the situation is on releasing this. WB is basically better than all other studios combined in releasing its material so the fact that this appears not to be released leads me

Depends what you mean by most EYES had a ton of music and footage that was not licensed for DVD so it cost a fortune to do so. The exact same issues ( well image not music) exist with other films like HOLLYWOOD , THE PIONEERS, But these issues are at least straightforward. The more complex ones

BIRTH has faced only one copyright problem that I know of. Many years ago the evil Raymond Rohauer using his usual ruse of getting people who never owned rights to sign them over to me, claimed the rights and took Killiam Shows to court over it. He lost. As we have gone over before different
