The reel is the property of 20th Century Fox. It’s similar to the infamous 16mm print (aka Puggo Grande) of ANH that’s been circulating on e black market for going on 40 years. It was meant for schools, prisons, military bases, etc. However, people saw the dollar signs and starting selling them. Also, when he first copies of ANH hit the shelves in 1982, they were rental copies. The tapes, which were VHS and ßetamax, are the property of 20th Century Fox Video. They were supposed to be either kept by he rental store, thrown out, or returned to Fox. Instead, they were sold at a high price to consumers in what was called a “lifetime rental.” They could pay a few hundred dollars and keep the movie for life. Because it wasn’t legally sold, no contracts were broken. The Video Rental Library copies are rare today. Technically, you aren’t buy in the tape, you are buying the contract. All of these mentioned releases, reels and tapes, are still studio property to this day. If they have explicit, written permission from Fox and/or Lucasfilm, then it is okay. However, the admins did their research, and Team Negative One is unfortunately in the wrong on this one.
