With iTunes it makes no difference if it’s a code from the HD or 4K, just as long as it from the matching distributor.

My iTunes copy of She's All That had the extras removed within the last month. The Store version now for sale of SAT has the extras. Both versions had Miramax listed as the studio. WTF?

That was another title bought by Paramount, you own the old miramax version. You will have to buy again if you want the current version.

I don't really know what the deal is with the whole bloody affair, but Dogma's issues are different and pretty public.

Not like that I mean in the sense that they own the rights to kill bill the whole bloody affair as well Not that it aired dirty laundry kinda deal i didn’t know you meant it like that I’m sorry I misunderstood what you we’re getting at.

I'm so confused by the title of this thread and the conversation within the thread that followed.

Is it titles labeled Miramax that are outdated? Or Lionsgate? The thread title makes it sound like Miramax would be the old copies, but the conversation within the thread make it sound like Lionsgate would be the old copies.

I own Kill Bill 1 and 2 and I'm trying to figure out which copies I have.

Can't really go by what studio is listed on the itunes store as it's not always updated or totally correct. Go to the itunes store, if it shows you own KB, you have the current lionsgate versions. If it asks you to buy them, look in your library for the old de-listed ones (miramax)

You’ve got that a bit back to front, if the iTunes Store listing shows you own it then you have the current Miramax version which are released under Paramount.
If it’s asking you to buy but you have it in your library then it’s the now de-listed Lionsgate version.

Basically prior to this thread first being posted all Miramax titles were listed as being Miramax, Lionsgate however had the distribution rights.
When Paramount bought out a stake in Miramax they took over distribution of the Miramax library and as such all the previously purchased versions had the studio name relabelled to Lionsgate as that’s who that particular purchase license is held with.
All current titles that are labelled with Miramax are under Paramounts distribution.

Perfect, that clears things up. Thank you!

How can Harvey still have the rights if he's in prison?

There are two of them: Harvey and Bob. They both share ownership.

Prisoners are allowed to own things!
In this case because of the controversy around Dogma Harvey personally bought the rights, so it was owned by him and not Miramax. All the distribution deals have lapsed so nobody has the right to release it anywhere in the world. Kevin Smith has talked about how he thinks Harvey should do the right thing and sign it over, because nobody wants to do a deal with him so he’s not going to get any money anyway. For now if anyone wanted to licence it for release they’d be dealing with and paying Harvey directly so it’s not going to happen. Entirely possible we won’t see it again until he dies and the rights get passed to someone that it feels less toxic to deal with.
