Toho steps up to defend copyright

Having been leaned on by Toho’s legal department in the past (I won’t go into the details, but they’re out there, somewhere…I’m sure…) I can empathize with DVD publishing company Cosmo’s pain.

Toho is after Cosmo again, this time for a trio non-Kurosawa flicks, namely Mikio Naruse’s “Mother” (1952), Senkichi Taniguchi’s “Escape at Dawn” (1950), and Tadashi Imai’s “Till We Meet Again” (1950). Toho claims that all three films, all sold on DVD by Cosmo, are protected by Japanese copyright law. Guess we’ll find out who’s right soon enough…
