This movie should be illegal...

Unless admission is free. Since the footage was captured using hardware paid for by the public it is wrong to turn around and sell what is copyright free footage to Disney to make a movie and then copyright it.

This is true... but....
by coryschulz January 28, 2006 1:36 PM PST: Disney had to invest money into organizing the footage into a movie, and then distributing it.

But I do agree. That is kind of wrong for the gov to do.; Like this

No. It should not.
by William Squire January 30, 2006 12:36 AM PST: I did not read in the story that anybody had secured exclusive rights to the raw camera footage. The raw footage could potentially be considered public data. The IMAX film certainly could not. I applaud NASA, Disney, and Lockheed for making this information widely available in such an impressive format.
