smiler Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 After all these years of having purchased finals DVDs and Blu Rays since 1984 I have been told by DCI hat they cant ship to England due to musical licence laws. Cant believe it after all these years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Can you make arrangements with someone here from the U.S. to receive it and then mail it to you? Edited November 6, 2018 by N.E. Brigand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiler Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 It says they are not formatted for International use ? , does this mean they wont play on my Blu Ray ? or simply they cant send them out of USA because of the musical issues. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks DCI blurays are region A. If your bluray player can read region A blurays, then you're fine. Other posters have given better explanations of the "why" behind no international shipping.

Any international shipping issue is a different matter. I assume DCI just doesn't have an account set up with an international shipping company. Drum Corps International...yeah right..I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell them advertising that designation... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaustianMachine Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I wonder if it's similar reasoning to 2013. Rite of Spring has a copyright for exclusivity in the US, if I remember right. I think they did that with re:Rite and now with Fall and Rise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public domain in the US is anything written before 1923 I believe (Rite of Spring is something like 1913?) but laws are different in different places - so in the UK for instance its something like 75 years after the death of the composer therefore RoS wouldn't be public domain until around 2030? (I'm doing these numbers off my head but it rings a bell from when this came up in 2013) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
