I doubt it. The pool of people clamoring for this film to be released is pretty small, though very loud. Put it out there at $29.99 and with little marketing and it'll sink as a general release (though be very successful within small niche markets).

I'm not sure what "fair practices" trouble would be. Just as they don't have to release the movie if they don't want to, they can release it and give it any price they want. If they put it out at $199 I doubt you'd have any angry speeches on the Senate floor demanding investigations into price gouging.


As a side note, I do have a copy of Song of the South on DVD. When I was in Singapore last year they were selling it in a major international grocery store and I figured they wouldn't be selling bootlegs in such a place and that there must have been an Asian DVD release I was unaware of. When I got home with it and could look it up I learned that in fact the major international grocery store was selling bootlegs.
