  <<I wonder how far Republic is going to get in restricting use of WONDERFUL
LIFE.>>
 
They've already sent out thousands of lawyers' letters to TV stations and
video distributors all over the nation, warning them not to broadcast or sell
tapes of WONDERFUL LIFE this holiday season--or face legal challenges.
 
But I agree with you, Jeremy, it's a sticky wicket. Two of the largest
companies that have a vested interest are Blockbuster Video (uh, excuse me,
Blockbuster *Entertainment*) and Turner Home Video. Blockbuster duped a
cheapie copy they sell as a loss-leader at Christmas, and Turner colorized it,
of course. --Don
