Appropriation, Colorization and Feminization

A discussion of the issue of Colorization of Black-and-White
Movies (described as ""prima-facie example of current corporate
scavenging''). Legal, economic, and moral questions of
authorship, ownership and control as well as the question of
integrity are the issued addressed. The ""horror of
colorization'' is contrasted with the much older ""horror of the
cutting'', colorization being interpreted as a kind of
feminization.
