  Shouldn't this be out of copyright by now?

    The film itself (and the book it's based on) may be public domain in Australia (in the US though, they keep on extending copyright, and Gone with the Wind won't go public domain until 2034, that is if they don't continue to extend the copyright terms), but the extensive restoration of the film to and the subsequent transfer to digital/Blu-ray may constitute a "new work" (not 100% clear on that, but if human creative decisions were made in the restoration process, then at the very least, these "new" elements would be under copyright). And the extra features, many shot recently, would definitely still include copyright.

    Lastly, while the work may be public domain, it doesn't mean that access to the original masters is free. WB (assuming they have the masters right now) simply won't let anyone get access to the masters without asking for an exorbitant fee (and could even prevent access entirely, on the grounds of "preservation"), so if you want the best version of the movie, you'll still have to pay WB for it one way or another.
