It used to take them a very long time and fighting to get the rights for releasing films.

Have a read of their History page: http://www.derann.co.uk/

The trailers etc that are released these days are not copyrighted in the smae way and the Movie companies wouldnt be too worried about a handful of super 8 releases they are more worried about the hundreds of pirated DVD's.
