I remember takling to them at the Portland NSA show, the reason stated for
not having the big 3-D movies for sale, was that the major studios would not
release permission for small runs on tape. If they would have been put on the
market there would have been copyright suits. To bad I would have gotten one
of each.

Large studios are not interested in selling only 1000 copies of a tape, the
cut they get from this is not  worth their while.
