Rights
In the US, Zulu briefly lapsed into the public domain, meaning there have been several issues of the film on home video/Laserdisc/DVD in North America — most notably an LD release by The Criterion Collection which retains the original stereophonic soundtrack and taken from a 70mm print.
An official DVD release (with a mono soundtrack as the original stereo tracks were not available) was later issued by Embassy's successor-in-interest, StudioCanal (with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer handling video distribution). StudioCanal (the current owner of the Embassy theatrical library) had acquired US distribution of the film in 2000 after its copyright was restored. Sony Pictures Television owns TV and digital distribution rights to the film in the US.
The film has been released on Blu-ray in the UK; however, this version is region-free and will work in any Blu-ray player.
Outside the USA, the film has always been distributed by Paramount Pictures.

Famous quotes containing the word rights:
“... the Black woman in America can justly be described as a “slave of a slave.””
—Frances Beale, African American feminist and civil rights activist. The Black Woman, ch. 14 (1970)
“The freedom to share one’s insights and judgments verbally or in writing is, just like the freedom to think, a holy and inalienable right of humanity that, as a universal human right, is above all the rights of princes.”
—Carl Friedrich Bahrdt (1740–1792)
“To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled—because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
