This would definately have been "GATTED" so it is basically NOT a legal copy. I suspect it is owned by one of the major French companies who have been slow to license or release their titles but am pretty sure I can find out.
Also make sure to get the Flicker Alley copy of the 1919 verison, it is far more than decent. I will check and get back to you on rights holder for later version On Mon, Sep 30, 2013 at 12:03 PM, Sarah E.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
