Title: Star Wars Legacy Revealed DVD?
Post by: MrOsterman on June 04, 2007, 06:19:04 AM
My search fu is weak.

Can anyone else find the DVD of last week's documentary for sale anywhere?  My school wants to buy it.

If you are referring to the History channel feature on Star Wars then I think you are out of luck. As far as I know it is not available on DVD yet.

Is it legal for me to send you one?  My DVR recorded it and I have  DVD burner set up on it.

I would gladly send you a copy if it's not breaking some law!

Ricky,

In my opinion that comes under the fair use act. You recorded it off public airwaves and it's not available for sale, and you would not be profitting off it. However, you have to go with your conscience about it.

I actually have it on tape.

The thing is that to "legally" show it in the classroom after 30 (?) days of airing I need to "buy" the rights by purchasing the DVD (and it has to be used for educational benefit).  So while I appreciate the gesture, having a copy from braodcast media would indeed be a legal violation if I put it in our library for Mythology and Literature classes to use.

Thanks though!

For official school use you will have to wait.  But it's sure to come out eventually once it has been rerun many, many times.
