“We would like to go back to being a production company, but right now we’re getting by as an archive,” Villaneuva said.

Ha! Fat chance of that ever happening. I’m no fan of Wal Mart, but unless this archive business proves to be a big money maker, these folks are going to have to find a new line of work.

Joe Bingham: it seems that the company is now effectively out of business as a video production company, and its sole business now appears to be the exploitation of its archives.

Doug: Flagler claims that there was no contract and thus copyright in the footage remained with them. Hard to believe, but it’s certainly possible Wal-Mart screwed up, especially since Flagler was doing this for 30 years.

Um… yeah, everyone will want to use your firm now. Nice job. This company should be named Einstein productions.

Aren’t these videos the property of Wal-Mart – the company who paid Flagler to make them? Was there not some sort of non-disclosure agreement in place before Wal-Mart allowed Flagler employee’s access to the meetings in order to film them?

Why not just desecrate a crucifix and call God a wussy?
