Why would I be pissed about someone taking my digital copyright after spending countless hours researching and my own personal money saving these from film and getting them transferred digitally?
Why would I be upset that it took nearly eighteen months to do it and there's not even any reference or credit for bringing this back into the public domain?
This exercise in the end still owes me just over £600.
Many of these adverts would still be distant memories for those if they could even remember they existed, but as long as everyone gets what they want, who cares?
Best of all, this will be someone I directly dealt with as I handled all the sales. What many people don't realize is that this approach prevents me from working on other projects, and trust me, there is some awesome stuff out there still.

I totally understand how you feel Dave, it sucks when someone uses something you've poured time and money and passion into without even so much as a credit.
However, it looks bloody great what you did and I commend you for it, really nicely done, excellent work.

Dave,
Do you still have these DVDs available. I for one would like to enjoy these whilst knowing I have properly contributed towards your hard work.

Can I ask what happens with the copyrights on these? I take it they belong to Hasbro through the various acquisitions, did they grant permissions? Are they not bothered about them or does it fall under the not for profit use?

I would imagine there is a bit of grey area here, it depends on the finer detail of the acquisition of Palitoy at the time. I don't believe for one second any of the suits at Hasbro or Disney would give it a second thought regarding the pursuit of court action, just not worth it and there are bigger fish to fry. Darren Orme for instance.

In this sense permission was granted through Hasbro under archival purposes otherwise it would be lost forever with copies being made for Hasbro, one to LFL, one to V&A and one to the British Library. As no-one would finance the project, the idea was to cover the cost of transfer through this .... but the fandom were to prove me wrong, which is why you've not seen any further volumes.

Interesting and don't look at me I brought one from your very grubby mitts. Perhaps with todays prices a version 2 should be made with a rrp of £35, stick it on Facebook and watch them fly.
