It's a mkv rip of the German bootleg titled "We are the champions" dvd. It appears to be a VHS transfer but i am not sure since there on a few frames appear small black squares (which is a sign of data rot on laserdisc)
Final Live is an official item and probably should not be shared on Queenzone.
I hope the owner of this website does not get fucked over by "Believe Music".

Yes...I think that is an official release.

It has not been re-leased since the 1990s on vhs/laserdisc, meaning it is just resales & pirating at this point which doesn't result in monetary for Queen Productions, by sharing bootlegs you prevent bootleggers from making money and i think that is morally OK.

It even has an official release on DVD.

No it doesn't

Wilki and John Stuart seem to be in disagreement as what DVDs are pirates or official (see below link).
Even so, Believe Music does not care, and sharing this violates the rules of this website.
Yes it is a grey area. It is not a current release, it is not easily purchased "off the shelf"
In my opinion, it ideally should be OK to share if it is not currently available by retail.
I hate the corporate music industry. In my opinion. The music industry shows no respect for customers. Right or wrong, I consider myself morally superior to the corporate music industry.
Like the VHS and the Laserdisc, the DVD of Final Live in Japan is a Japan-only official product released in the mid 2000's. It's an official release just for the japonese market like the Queen Jewels CD and DVD compilations are.
