DVD Sets depreciating in value (1 Viewer)

My question is why 1978 copyright? I’m assuming it has to do with the ownership maze that trek has been through over the years?

That could be a nod to all that, to be sure!

Next up is Enterprise. Then TNG. And hopefully DS9 and voyager will come but not counting on them. Thinking about giving my SD treks to my nephew. He’s 10. Likes adventure and space

Don’t forget to check out the Amazon.uk prices for Blu ray sets. I found their prices a steal, and of course they are all region free.

One thing I noticed on the TOS Blu Ray. Is that at the end of each episode, it shows the Desilu logo. That I understand. But after that the CBS logo comes up and says 1978 paramount.

My question is why 1978 copyright? I’m assuming it has to do with the ownership maze that trek has been through over the years?

Somehow, the copyright year was never seen on any Desilu program in the 1966-67 season (nor early on in the 1967-68 season) in the original broadcast run.

In the case of Star Trek, after having lost one lawsuit over this to Thunderbird Films, eventually Paramount was able to buy back the copyright rights to the pre-1967 Star Trek episodes. The earliest Star Trek episode to be registered with the Paramount copyright was "Wolf in the Fold" on September 19, 1967, the date the final answer print was finished before being given to NBC (which first broadcast it as episode 2.14 on December 22, 1967), while the final episode not to have an onscreen copyright was "The Changeling" (episode 2.3, aired September 29, 1967) which was registered on September 13, 1967.

I'm not surprised, as the DVD format has been decreasing in value for years now. As the format goes away, the value of the discs should too, I reckon.
