Talk:Song of the South/Archive 3

message: Footnote 54 links to a bootleg site.  Should Wikipedia be linking to bootleg sites?

replies: text: No, I don't think so. It falls within the spirit, if not the letter, of WP:ELNO#3: viewing the bootleg catalog is not illegal in the US, but selling the dvd itself surely is. I've just removed it; we'll see whether that change sticks. We could restore the removed text (that unauthorized copies have been released) if we could find a secondary source for it rather than a primary one. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:20, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

message: I have no connection to the seller of this DVD except that I bought a copy of his product. I have no information about the copyright status of the film. Since it is a major film, since all other home video versions are mentioned in the article, and since the new version is the only way most people can watch the film, it seems to me that it is information of interest to people who love movies. If it is true that this version is "bootleg" then that information could be added to the article. Rick Norwood (talk) 13:14, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: A testimonial from a satisfied customer is just as inappropriate. The film is under US copyright, and so are most of the films sold thru that web site... which is pretty clearly just another guy with a disc-burner (promising that his discs with the copy-protection hacked will play on most devices). There are countless places on the internet where someone can download or buy bootleg/pirate copies of films, and it is not Wikipedia's role to document them. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 15:49, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: With the exception of possible older VHS tapes or the laserdiscs that were released in Japan, any new copies of Song of the South are bootlegs and unauthorized by their owner (see Snopes article). Even though DVDs etc abound in many different venues (see Film School Rejects column), the movie is simply unavailable to be bought in any legitimate form. If folks want to search for copies of the movie to buy they can use a search engine like Google or whatever. It it not part of Wikipedia's purview to basically aid infringing on the rights of IP-owners, regardless of how much any of us would like to have a copy.

replies: text: I've rephrased that a little to address that. The body of the article explains the situation more clearly. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 14:29, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: As of right now, the attraction still exists in all locations. And it is not even known when the attraction will close. It could be many months still until it closes. So for now, I have restored the wording as it is still correct, truthful, and up to date. The legacy section gets into the details about the attraction's future.

text: Upon further reflection, I have restored the wording to the previous version. As my version doesn't yet seem necessary. Contributor19 (talk) 17:17, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Splash Mountain 

message: An unsourced section presently reads:
"The film (minus the Tar Baby scene which was cut from all American television airings) was also aired on US television as part of the Disney Channel's "Lunch Box" program in the 1980s and 1990s until December 18, 2001."
I'm deleting this for now. I watched TDC endlessly in the 1980s and 90s and am pretty darn sure the film was never rebroadcast there, at least in anything close to its full form (minus the Tar Baby or otherwise). I'm also unsure of how the movie could
I do believe the Tar Baby sequence may have been run in the 1980s as a standalone segment on a prerecorded episode of Donald Duck Presents, but I don't think we should say so until it can be confirmed. Ramapith (talk) 17:36, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

message: Contrary to common belief, the film premiered not at the Fox Theatre but at the Loew's Grand Theatre. (The Fox would have been ironic since southern rock band Lynard Skynerd recorded their live album there under a Confederate flag.) Colonial Computer 15:20, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
