Background
Eclecta Video was an Italian bootleg home video distributor that produced pirated copies of Disney's animated films from the pre-1950's. Although the company claimed that the films fell into Italy's public domain, Disney disputed this argunment and posted notices at video stores, warning customers that the tapes were illegally produced.
The final sentence on this case was issued in 2015, according to the Disney Tapes and More website, which also notes that a similar unauthorized distributor of these features in Italy, Walkman S.r.l., removed its releases of them from circulation at Disney's insistence.
