Just send it to me, I will take care of it for you.

I am pretty sure this is unlicensed.

So how does one know on a film print whether it's licensed? I'm looking at ebeans' "official" or "fan art" status and determining whether, for instance, a studio said, "cool, make the print."
It would become more important for a film like The Matrix where there appears to be fewer prints done for the film and it would be more important for me as a hardcore fan of the film to know whether the people who made the film or who were involved essentially signed off on the print. Similar to what you've told me about likeness rights, Kramerica. Also, is there some way to find out if a thread has had comments made on it because you guys jumped on the answer and there hasn't been anyone commenting on this print for over a year.

This piece is a grail for many, so when the thread gets bumped it tends to be seen and responded to fairly rapidly.
Oh, and you could turn on notifications for individual threads so you'd get an email following each post if you really wanted.

I don't really know how you could tell if you were just looking at a print. These days, it's a safe bet that anything Mondo releases is licensed but that was not always the case. The EB database is a good resource but it is certainly not error proof.
I wasn't collecting movie posters when this print was released so I don't have direct experience. My understanding from what has been told to me is, when planning the Mondo Mystery Movie event, Mondo wanted Stout to be able to do any movie he wanted and he wanted to do Akira. They couldn't or didn't secure the rights to the film but since it was a Mondo Mystery Movie event, they just sold a high priced movie ticket that included a print.
That's all second hand, so it maybe didn't play out exactly like that, but that's why I say this print was not licensed.
