That's the next issue. Starting with 2nd 3rd generation 'copies' then rendered using low resolution, and low compression. Uncompressed is best, but that creates huge files. And like you say, cutting of the credits?

I think I've more than done my time over the past two decades, hunting out rare
titles, jumping through all sorts of hoops, fighting off Customs and Excise,
and often paying through the nose. If someone offered me the title for a
resonable price, despatched without complications/risk, I'd take it. Otherwise -
there are plenty more fish in the sea.

All true. But I can't stop the rest of the human race being short-sighted and/or
selfish.

Maybe someone should start up a Kickstarter project. It would probably have to be located in Germany. A building dedicated to the preservation of erotic material. A huge database. People would be encouraged to hand over their unwanted Tapes, Dvd's, Magazines in the name of preservation.
Kickstarter is the world's largest funding platform for creative projects. A home for film, music, art, theater, games, comics, design, photography, and more.
Porn is film + art + photography, correct?
I doubt they'd allow it. Heh.

Cinemateques got pretty much away with it claiming they were "preserving" movies, while
essentially owning and possessing and screening movies they really had no copyright over them.
And filmmakers were only too happy to look the other way. How many old "lost" films were/are in the hands
of private "collectors"?
Try to do that with porn and see where it will get you.
Well perhaps the Kinsey Institute with those old stag movies made a century ago or a three quarters of century ago,
but since then nada.....
