Talk:A Day With SpongeBob SquarePants: The Movie (Rare Direct-to-DVD Release, Late 2011)/@comment-1354240-20151223175833/@comment-1354240-20151223185240

Another thing to consider is that if Reagal was sued, the SpongeBob movie would like be in the possession of Viacom and could take a long time to be release to the public if it gets released at all. Usually with copyright cases, they run pretty quickly and the losing party must hand over their content to the winning party.

If Reagal was sued over this movie and lost, than the movie is likely in the possession of Viacom's legal council.

The film could've also been used a legal evidence in a court case and that could take even longer to see the light of day. Here in Canada, we had a certain mayor who was caught on video smoking crack. That video was taken into evidence for a court case and still hasn't been viewed publicly for two whole years so far.
