- Ben, you should know that the copyright on a Film Ventures International
- film is for the date that they released their version. "Pod People"
- is a late 70's movie from Czechoslovakia. This is the same reason that
- "Godzilla Vs. The Sea Monster" is also a late-80's copyright, but the
- film was made in 1966!!!
-
- All the film Ventures stuff has inaccurate copyrights, at least as far
- as when the film was made. That's why they say "Film Ventures International
- Copyright ****", and not just "Copyright ****". I seem to recall that
- "Space Travellers" bore a 1990 copyright also, but that is "Marooned", and
- it was made before we landed on the moon!

- Happy Holidays!
