Hi
I deleted all my Youtube video's last year due to "COPPA" and not knowing the rules. Since then Youtube have announced the rules which are concerning children. I'm still not 100% OK with downloading the movie again as children do appear in the movie - yes I know it was 1981.
Kind regards
Steve

PS Didn't know my son put the video back Youtube about a month ago - after reading everything - I don't think he knew it was also on Bermondseyboy!.
