Why Did Return Of The Pug (Puggo’s 16mm Preservation of Return Of The Jedi) get taken down?

I mean it was a free, publicly available copy of a copyrighted work. That’s illegal.

Yeah, that’s a good answer. But it was on Internet Archive though. My guess is that maybe Puggo took it down or it violated Community Guidelines.

Or Disney finally told the IA to take it down. Or the IA is upping their enforcement in light of their recent lawsuit issues.

Yeah, that is also a pretty good theory, too. I might have to PM Puggo about it and ask him why it got taken down.

I have no idea either there are a lot of works up there that aren’t supposed to be there. I’m not talking about long out of print or dead media that may still be in copyright, but things like the new Indiana Jones movie.

I also forgot to mention that Puggo’s other 16mm preservations, such as Star Wars, and The Empire Strikes Back, are still up on Internet Archive though.

The Internet Archives themselves has a strict proactive anti-piracy policy. The lawsuits were their own fault for not loaning 1:1 copies, had they just done that the lawsuits would have ended in their favour.

I have never posted my restorations anywhere. I just did the restorations, shared with a small number of people, and one of them posted it. So I don’t know the answer to your question.

Oh, ok. So if the other restorations get taken down, where can I find them then? All I know is that there are some clips of the restorations you did that were uploaded on YouTube.

Were you able to locate it?
