I doubt the copyright claim prevented any DVD release. Even if the case has merit is tends to be in the interest of both sides to keep sales going. Its really an unusual claim though as it seems directed mainly at the TRAILER so that could have caused a delay or issue in the DVD availability. I am curious if that is part of the Amazon package.

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.
