PBS movie rights? Date: 08-23-2005 By: Brent	I see that the 3 PBS movies are residing at WGBH Boston but have not been released to video. They would make a great DVD collection. I can see it being tied in with ACS to increase awareness. Does anybody know who has the rights? Is there difficulty in assigning rights now that Shep is gone? Does WGBH make broadcast rights available to others? "Mah Gawd! Hey, Maw, It's Cassie! She's home from the reformatory!"	5

Check there, but the short answer is they always say NO - there are no plans to ever release them. I should have DVDs before the end of the year, all cleaned up by a pro, from the same source tapes as the ones you see on eBay all the time. After all, they came from me in the first place.

Pretty packaging has not altered the fact their intent is not to "defray costs of handling", but to profit from the arts and talents of a man who is not here to defend himself, nor said art.[:(!] In Hoc Agricula Conc In Est Spittle Louk
