[LEN-E] Olympia... another one!

[Ron Koster]

Re that recent Olympia release on DVD that we were talking about, 
amazon sent me another notice advertising a new edition of "Shadow of 
a Doubt (Enhanced Edition)", i.e. Alfred Hitchcock's film...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NIKAI0

This is from the same company, Triad Productions Corporation, that's 
making the Olympia DVD. The only review of the Hitchcock film (at the 
above URL) says:

"There's nothing 'enhanced' about this. It looks like Triad simply 
downloaded a bootleg version of the film from the Internet Archive 
web site and slapped it onto a blank DVD. Stick to the much cheaper 
official DVD release from the copyright holder (Universal Pictures) 
and avoid this expensive rip-off bootleg. Shame on Amazon for 
promoting illegal transfers!"

Indeed! I'm extremely surprised, actually, that amazon allows these 
people to sell these obvious bootlegs. It's bad enough that they've 
done Olympia (which, under USA copyright law, is a bit vague with 
regard to that film now being in the public domain), but Hitchcock's 
film would clearly still be owned by the original studio, for sure.

I'm amazed (or "amazoned") that these people aren't in jail already!
