Yes he obviously doesn't understand that EZT has higher criteria than most bittorrent tracker sites. Their rule is never officially released. Out of production doesn't mater. I've even known them to ban a recording that had entered the public domain due to age just because some enterprising company took advantage of the  public domain status to make an official looking release. Similar to what I've seen lately with old superman cartoons. Certainly once a thing enters public domain it stays there and a retail release that's free of copyright payment shouldn't change that.
 
The truth is I half expected this to be banned from EZT. They don't penalize a user for having a torrent banned though so I decided to give it a try. There is a VCD version on there that started all this. Not as nice as the one I made for this vine but they've been allowing it. Sometimes I wonder if EZT isn't run by FZ fans. They seem to stretch the rules for his works. They have allowed The Dub Room for a long time for instance. Maybe the mail order sales from Barfko Swill in the eighties just don't count as official releases?

That ranks as one of the funniest things I've ever read on this list...

It's long out of print, so there shouldn't be a problem with the legal status of this torrent.
