BMX BANDITS is protected by copyright. The film is from Australia. The copyright term in Australia is 70 years for film in the US this film is copyright for 95 years from publication.

US dvd distributors have exploited the film for years because it wasn't registered with the USCO. However, it was registered at the beginning of May this year. So any copying after that date, including uploading it here, could now be subject to statutory and punitive damages claims from the copyright owners. I'd get rid of it if I were you.
