Shame on the Bluebird Cafe for flogging pirate copies!!! Must have cost you a fair few quid, if the price of their tea and cakes is anything to go by...Digitaljunior wrote:I purchased two "copies" from the Bluebird cafe which I assumed, given the price were legit. Upon opening them they are "copies". Quite disapointing but at least I have a copy of the film to watch.

Re: Across The Lake
There is plenty that could be done but why would you want to? Ultimately, short of a complaint to trading standards or whatever it would require action by the copyright holders, who manifestly either can't be bothered or don't even know that they hold the copyright.ace_chris wrote:Shame that more cant be done to stop matey flogging his copies online
Let me be clear here: I would far rather pay the going rate for a bona fide DVD of ATL but rather than never watch the film ever again, I'll settle for an unauthorised copy.
OK, technically this is theft but then so is removing a telly from a skip after someone who doesn't want it has thrown it out. Where's the harm?
Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.
Re: Across The Lake
Went down this road a couple of years ago with ATL trying to find out what was the score about copyright on the movie-run into a big pile of doo doo as there is an ongoing dispute about it-The Beeb don't own it,the director who seems to have intellectual copyright don't seem to own it either,and the bod selling the pirate copies DEFINITELY don't own it!-and it seems that to actually stop him selling them,the FACT folks have to act on behalf of the copyright holder-catch 22- the original production company basically doesn't exist anymore either-got very confused trying to find out and gave up!

If it's his own pic then it's his copyright so I s'pose that's above board. It's not one of ours. I'm looking forward to putting that badge back on though.
