Does Leno leaving Tonight mean that a DVD of episodes from his tenure can be released?
Legally speaking, does his leaving mean that a DVD of episodes he hosted can be released on DVD? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.65.117.118 (talk) 09:22, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I would say that is unlikely but only the show's producers could tell you for sure. --Viennese Waltz 09:39, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Legally speaking, a DVD probably could have been released at any time, depending on how all the contracts were written. You can get DVDs of Johnny Carson's tonight show (not every episode, but lots of them), so it wouldn't be surprising to see some compilations of Leno shows. But the fact that he's leaving is probably not very relevant. Staecker (talk) 12:38, 7 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't know what him being on the show would have to do with the release of DVDs. DVDs are often released before the end of a show's run.  I have several DVDs from Doctor Who and The Big Bang Theory and both of those shows are still running.  As far as the legality of it, you'd have to look at the contracts involved.  And I doubt you'll be able to get copies of those.  Dismas |(talk) 13:15, 7 February 2014 (UTC)


 * The copyright owners of any work decide if or when such a release will bring in some money. For example, there were authorized releases of Carson material before the show ended. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 15:03, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Nintendo 3DS v. 7.1.0-15E

 * This is the official release statement by Nintendo, which is the best you'll get, unless you dive into the homebrow/mod community boards. Unfortunately, the link is not loading for me at present, but maybe it will work for you. SemanticMantis (talk) 19:32, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
