I notice that the rules no longer mention "DVD Distributor" specifically, but I see no reason why, in situations where the publisher and distributor differ, the distributor simply remains in the Studio section for now.
What do others think? The DVD Distributor is neither a 'Theatrical Release Studio' nor a 'Production Company'...which is what that field calls for. Since it isn't, it does not belong in the studio field. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Still a lot of people who do not understand what the publisher is. For example Old Boy: Asia Mania (8716777051566). Publisher is Bright Angel films and NOT A-Film Distribution. I almost get the feeling that some people who voted to use Publisher in this field didn't fully grap what they voted on as I see a lot of ambiguety in the votingpatterns on these contributions  | | | My DVD's

What do others think? Where there is both a DVD Production Company and a DVD Distributor in the profile already, I've been moving the DVD Production Company to the Media Publisher field and just leaving the DVD Distributor alone. Once Ken releases 3.5.1, it can then be moved to the "DVD Co's." field , but the data won't be lost in the meantime. | | | | Hal |

| | Posted: | | | | The term "Publish" within the DVD industry is uncommon, but it is certainly used and definitely has a meaning. It's the company that actually produces (this does not necessarily mean author) the DVD, rather than distributes it. |

The DVD Distributor is neither a 'Theatrical Release Studio' nor a 'Production Company'...which is what that field calls for. Since it isn't, it does not belong in the studio field. But as we've already been promised more space for these companies, surely on the rare occasions where distributor and publisher don't match and the distributor is already on the profile, we simply leave it where it is. I'm not advocating adding any information, I'm saying we simply don't "correct" the profile for now. |

While I undserstand what you are saying, north, as Ken has noted himself there are already THOUSANDS of profiles which have appropriately moved the distributor to the new field. Most of this was work that had been done long before the current controversy. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

I'm not advocating adding any information, I'm saying we simply don't "correct" the profile for now. If Ken gives us more fields, we are going to have to revisit these profiles anyway. If we are to be consistent in our support of the rules, we should correct them as we go. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

What do others think? No, the studio field is reserved for film and theatrical release companies. DVD companies are not allowed in this field any more. |

But if somebody does correct them, you can't vote No. |
